As I lay upon the leaves
And stare up in the trees
Watch the way they sway
The clouds, the passing day
My heart begins to soar
In heavens open door
Wondering what its like
To spread my wings in flight
I’ll do the next best thing
Since I have no wings
Find the biggest tree
A top that’s hard to see
Then jump and if by chance
Grab the lowest branch
And with a little luck
My hands will pull me up
As the climbing starts
I hug a little bark
When the branches stop
I’ve made it to the top
A captain on the sea
I’m swaying with the tree
The trees and sky I find
Are happy being mine
