Trees

Jim Savarino © 1994

How green is my valley?						
How green it will be						
If we take just a moment						
And plant a small tree						
Care for it gently							
As the years pass by						
Watch as that giant							
Reaches up to the sky						


(Chorus)

A tree doesn't walk but it lives			
You might not hear it talk but it gives		
With its' shade and its' fruit			
From the leaf to the root			
From the trunk to the branches above	
A tree is so easy to love				


A walk in the forest
Is a beutiful dance
But a child of the city
Might not have a chance
So take up a seed
And grow a small friend
A tree who'll be with us
Standing for days without end

Chorus
