To be a tree
When I die I want to be a tree,
That may seem like a weird thing to be,
But just listen and maybe you'll see.
I want my children to have somewhere to go
But a cemetery makes you feel low.
A tree is pretty and gives you shade,
They always look like they have something to say.
So maybe I'm crazy to want to be a tree,
But one day there will be less of them
And I want to be, a contribution to society
And help the future generations see,
That if you give back to nature,
It will give you a favor,
To keep you breathing
and protect you from the storm,
Nothing would make me happier
Than to be part of the reform.
So I want to be a tree
When it's my last day on earth,
To be the start of a rebirth.
