Little tree, the moon is high Darkness covers the world tonight From your tiny seed, I've watched you grow Cradled in the dirt, your soul The earth will teach you all it knows Little tree, don't be afraid Dream your dreams of making shade If the wind blows strong, then learn to bend If the fire burns, don't fear the end Take joy in holding a nest for a friend Little tree, the sun is here There's a reason you were planted here Though you may be weak and small today May your roots grow deep so you may sway You're of this world, this beautiful day
