lyrics

Look around you
Watch the sunlight filter through the leaves
Sit beneath the branches feel a breeze
There's a bird song out of reach
Stop and spare a moment for a tree

Think about it
Granting us some shelter in their shade
Holding down the soil against the rain
Through tornadoes on the plains
Stop and spare a moment for a tree

It can be hard to find a quiet moment
Rushing through the busy every day
But for a tree a year is like a moment
They have the time

You can try it
Choosing when to rest and when to race
Satisfaction with a slower pace
Contemplation in one place
Stop and spare a moment for a tree
