about

Children naturally love trees. This tune has been a Slugs' favorite for many years.

lyrics

I’m a tree, I’m a tree and
I’m growing very tall.
I’m a tree, can’t you see me shake my leaves?
I’m a tree, I’m a tree and when the breezes blow in fall,
I give a voice to the wind.

I’m a tree, I’m a tree and
I’m growing very tall.
I’m a tree, can’t you see my branches spread?
I’m a tree, I’m a tree, can you hear the robin call?
I give a home to the birds.
I give a voice to the wind.

I’m a tree, I’m a tree and
I’m growing very tall.
I’m a tree, can’t you see my acorns grow?
I’m a tree, I’m a tree, and when bushy tails crawl,
I give food to the squirrels.
I give a home to the birds.
I give a voice to the wind.

I’m a tree, I’m a tree and
I’m growing very tall.
I’m a tree, can’t you see my green leaves?
I’m a tree, I’m a tree, and when the sun, it shines its all,
I give shade to the world.
I give food to the squirrels.
I give a home to the birds.
I give a voice to the wind.

(All sing together)
I give shade to the people of the world.
I give shade to the people of the world (repeat)
