The tree

The tree My grandfather planted a tree Gave it water and sunshine But did not remember the lullaby The leaves fell to the ground And the tree died My father planted a tree Gave it water and sunshine But did not remember the lullaby The leaves fell to the ground And the tree died I planted a tree Gave it water and sunshine Sat under its branches And sang a lullaby I will nourish you with love I will nourish you with my soul I will protect you from the wind Hear me stars above I am somebody tonight I am the tree’s friend Then fell asleep When I awoke The tree was still alive
