Analysis of If I Were A Tree
If I were a tree
Wood you listen to me
Wood you hear my melody
Wood you come sit beneath me and admire my leaves
Wood you believe in my philosophy
Wood you climb my branches to view the surrounding scenery
If I were a tree
Wood you eat my fruits
Wood you water my roots
Wood I inspire you not to pollute
If I were a tree
Wood you enjoy my shade
Wood we breathe together in a symbiotic exchange
Wood you think of me as you turn the page
