The tree

 

My grandfather planted a tree

Gave it water and sunshine

But did not remember the lullaby

The leaves fell to the ground

And the tree died

My father planted a tree

Gave it water and sunshine

But did not remember the lullaby

The leaves fell to the ground

And the tree died

I planted a tree

Gave it water and sunshine

Sat under its branches

And sang a lullaby

I will nourish you with love

I will nourish you with my soul

I will protect you from the wind

Hear me stars above

I am somebody tonight

I am the tree’s friend

Then fell asleep

When I awoke

The tree was still alive
