From the recording In the Trees
Lyrics
ROOTS AND BRANCHES
I’m growing roots and branches
I’m growing way up high
I’m reaching deep into the Earth
And high into the sky
And high into the sky
I’m reaching way up high
Roots and branches
Are what I need to live
Roots and branches
Are what I have . . . to give
My branches are a home for birds
My roots a home for mice
I share my gifts so freely
A shelter day and night
A shelter day and night
A home both day and night
Roots and branches
Are what I need to live
Roots and branches
Are what I have . . . to give
My leaves give people air to breathe
My flowers feed the bees
My fruit is food for animals
My disposition is sweet
My disposition is sweet
They say my sap is sweet
Roots and branches
Are what I need to live
Roots and branches
Are what I have . . . to give
Roots and branches
Are what I need to live
Roots and branches
Are what I have . . . to give
