when i grow up i want to be a tree
when small children climb on me
i'll sway and rustle my leaves for them
i'll take them high then down no problem
let them tie a swing to one of my limbs
let them imagine and follow all their whims
and when my leaves fall to the ground
you all can smile, with every colour found
and when you share me with your love
you can enjoy the shade form up above
someday you'll leave this place
someday you'll take my place
