[Verse 1]
We chose the spot, we dug the hole
We laid the maples in the ground to have and hold
As autumn falls to winter sleep
We pray that somehow in the spring
The roots grow deep
[Chorus]
And many years from now
Long after we are gone
These trees will spread their branches out
And bless the dawn
[Verse 2]
He took a plane to Africa
He gathered up into his arms
An orphan son
[Chorus]
So many years from now
Long after we are gone
This tree will spread its branches out
And bless the dawn
[Bridge]
So sit down and write that letter
Sign up and join the fight
Sink in to all that matters
Step out into the light
Let go of all that's passing
Lift up the least of these
Lean into something lasting
Planting trees
