Planting Trees |
| We chose the spot, we dug the hole |
| We laid the maples in the ground to have and hold |
| As autumn falls to winter sleep |
| We pray that somehow in the spring |
| The roots grow deep |
| And many years from now |
| Long after we are gone |
| These trees will spread their branches out |
| And bless the dawn |
| He took a plane to Africa |
| He gathered up into his arms |
| An orphan son |
| So many years from now |
| Long after we are gone |
| This tree will spread its branches out |
| And bless the dawn |
| So sit down and write that letter |
| Sign up and join the fight |
| Sink in to all that matters |
| Step out into the light |
| Let go of all that’s passing |
| Lift up the least of these |
| Lean into something lasting |
| Planting trees |
| She rises up as morning breaks |
| She moves among these rooms alone |
| Before we wake |
| And her heart is so full; |
| it overflows |
| She waters us with love and the children grow |
| So many years from now |
| Long after we are gone |
| These trees will spread their branches out |
| And bless the dawn |
| These trees will spread their branches out |
| And bless someone |
