lyrics

The tree I see in front of me
grows up, and out of sight
It touches stars, the moon, the sun
All through the day and night.

Oh, I wish I was that happy tree
I’d sway so joyfully.
In winds, in rain, and droughts on plains
So happy as can be.

But, here I sit just looking up,
And dreaming high and mighty,
I have no bark, or leaves to share
No vines to hold and tie me.

I shall return to climb this tree
I’ll scramble out of sight
For she is waiting at the top
And ready to take flight.
