I wish I was a tree
standing tall deep in some forest
unseen by human eyes
unspoiled by human hands
untouched by human greed

I'd be a beauty for stars to behold
I would unfold my leafy crown in summer
and let the cold and icy snow shroud me in winter

Oh I'd be a beauty to behold
a treasure made from gold
hidden deep within a forest heart

I wish I was a tree
kept away from grief and loss
I'd know no sorrow there
and not a single leaf I'd shed
before the time had come

Oh I'd be a beauty to behold
