lyrics

If I could live as long as a tree, can’t believe what I’d see
If I could live as long as a tree, observe the change through history
I’d witness generations of families leave behind their legacy

If I could stand as tall as a tree, look past life’s hostilities
If I could stand as tall as a tree, make a haven for all to be
I’d nourish and protect birds and animals bring shelter and spread fruit and seeds

And I’d reach out my long arms
And learn how to give
Helping others to fend off harm
So every life here can live
For as long as there’s room for me

If I could breath as clear as a tree, exhale the air ‘til it’s clean
If I could breath as clear as a tree, absorb the fumes from gasoline
I’d alter and adapt with the seasons maintain cycles of life sustainably

Firmly planting my roots down
Even though I might creak
And my branches will shade the ground
Swaying free with the breeze
So be sure to make room for me
