We placed you, little seed,   in the ground seventeen years ago. And we gave you fresh water   and we let the sun shine on your rooty toes.      Yeah, we placed you, little seed.      Yeah we placed you, little seed,   in the ground so cold.   Now we watch you little tree   as your leaves start to grow.      As your leaves start to grow.      I will climb each of your branches   and I will kiss each of your leaves   and I will hug your barky hipbones   and inside your trunk, I'll sleep.
