I'M A TREE. Written by Mark Lebbell. Performed by Sweet Cascadia.
LYRICS
I have been here, for 500 years, and I hope to see 500 more
My roots have held firm, while the seasons did turn
Through the winds of 1000 winter storms,
through the winds of 1000 winter storms.
My limbs have been home, to many birds that have flown
A million insects have lived beneath my skin
My droppings fed the soil while my leaves they did toil
Turning C02 into oxygen, turning CO2 into oxygen.
I’m a tree, old and wise and our futures intertwine
Carry on, grow yourself strong, enough, to leave me right here
Carry on, let’s grow ourselves strong, together, year after year.
I have watched the human race, from here in my home place
From the First Peoples to the present day
I will watch what you do, as you struggle to get through
This fine little mess that you’ve made, this fine little mess that you’ve made.
I’m a tree, old and wise and our futures intertwine
Carry on, grow yourself strong, enough, to leave me right here
Carry on, let’s grow ourselves strong, together, year after year.
Now you might ask what someone like me could possibly learn from a tree…
well now listen close…
Put roots in a place you know, limit how you grow
There is strength found in diversity
Cycles rule our lives, adapt to changing times,
Connect yourself to your community, connect yourself to your community.
I’m a tree, old and wise and our futures intertwine
Carry on, grow yourself strong, enough, to leave me right here
Carry on, let’s grow ourselves strong, together, year after year.
