If I were a tree
even just for a day
I\'d open my flowers in the morning
and point them where I wanted and grow
Share life with the birds
and chase after bees
I\'d grow out to where I wanted
and I\'d never get confronted for it
\'cause I’m only a tree
If I were a tree
I think I could understand
How it feels to love the world
I swear I\'d live a better life
I\'d listen to it
\'cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the world you wanted
\'cause it\'s taken you for granted
and everything you love gets destroyed
If I were a tree
I would spread all my roots
Through waiting soil and chasing stem
As I find my place aloft all alone
I\'d put myself first
And seek the sun when I want
\'cause I know that she\'ll be waiting
Waiting for me to burst forth
Burst forth
If I were a tree
I think I could understand
how it feels to love the world
I swear I\'d live a better life
