[length: 03:31]
[00:15.33]We chose the spot
[00:18.30]We dug the hole
[00:22.37]We laid the maples in the ground
[00:26.95]To have and hold
[00:31.02]As autumn falls
[00:34.80]To winters sleep
[00:38.75]We pray that somehow in the spring
[00:42.41]The roots grow deep
[00:46.47]And many years from now
[00:49.21]Long after we are gone
[00:53.26]These trees will spread their branches out
[00:57.08]And bless the dawn, hmm
[01:01.99]
[01:09.69]He took a plane
[01:12.77]To Africa
[01:17.00]He gathered up into his arms
[01:20.63]An orphan son
[01:24.21]So many years from now
[01:28.41]Long after we are gone
[01:32.58]This tree will spread its branches out
[01:35.40]And bless the dawn
[01:40.15]So sit down and write that letter
[01:43.95]Sign up and join the fight
[01:47.85]Sink in to all that matters
[01:51.75]Step out into the light
[01:56.08]Let go of all that’s passing
[01:59.92]Lift up the least of these
[02:03.62]Lean into something lasting
[02:07.23]Planting trees, hmm, yeah
[02:14.52]
[02:19.18]She rises up
[02:22.73]As morning breaks
[02:26.50]She moves among these rooms alone
[02:30.23]Before we wake
[02:34.13]And her heart is so full
[02:37.48]It overflows
[02:41.87]She waters us with love
[02:45.35]And the children grow
[02:49.99]So many years from now
[02:53.23]Long after we are gone
[02:57.87]These trees will spread their branches out
[03:00.76]And bless the dawn
[03:04.35]These trees will spread their branches out
[03:08.03]And bless someone, hmm
