Grow Little Tree
Grow little tree and stand tall like sky
Let your leaves grow as they’ll learn how to fly
Grow little tree for more generations to come
Help the world realize that life is only one
Don’t die too early for we need you today
We’ll build a better place, I’ll make a good way
Grow little tree and protect us from harm
From the world that is constantly changing
Slowly deteriorates the air we breathe
Polluting the soil we used to love
Now the forces of nature rush in our land
They kill us for revenge – we are paying our mistakes.
Grow little tree and I’ll save you from my race
I’ll water you each day till you get strong and watch over me
It’s not too late to save the world from climate change
It will start on my hands, I’ll teach my fellow friends
It saddens me every time I see a young tree destroyed
So grow little tree and give me a good place to live
Grow little tree for my young little children
They’ll climb up on you and sit on your branches
Even in my last day in this world, don’t ever leave
You have plenty of reasons to teach people lessons
There is a need to realize at the end of this advocacy
Grow little tree and let’s help the world clean and green
