G C D G
“I’ve got roots growing down to the water;
G C D G
I’ve got leaves growing up to the sunshine;
C D G Am D
And the fruit that I bear is a sign of the life in me.
G C D G
I am shade from the hot summer sundown;
G C D G
I am nest for the birds of the heaven.

I’m, becoming what the Lord of trees has meant me to be:
G
A strong, young tree.”
