Tree Lullaby
Get watered and you'll grow
Love and you will know
All the lovely things there are to see
Drink the flavour in
Slowly to begin
Basking in the arbour with the trees
Try and fight disease
Grow as you please
Years come, years go
Don't fall to the forest floor
When it's too dark
Don't lose your heart
There's a silver moon above
Don't give up your search for love
Spring the forest wakes
Summer blossom makes
Autumn appear threatening distant freeze
Leaves fall to the ground
Winter comes around
Temporarily barren ill at ease
If they cut you down
Steal you from the ground
Return from whence you came
Life's a strange and fragile game
Reach up very high
Reach up to the sky
Turning in for shelter when you need
Have water and you'll grow
Love and you will know
Of the many ways life can lead
