You see that leaf falling? |
| [00:07.48] |
This happens every year |
| [00:10.54] |
This is known as one of the cycles of nature |
| [00:13.73] |
And there's a lesson to be learned from this |
| [00:16.07] |
Do you know what it is? |
| [00:18.74] |
Don't be a leaf if you can be a tree |
| [00:22.43] |
Don't be a raindrop if you can be the sea |
| [00:26.25] |
For a leaf may fall |
| [00:27.11] |
but the tree remains |
| [00:28.12] |
It may never rain at all |
| [00:29.04] |
but the sea remains |
| [00:30.09] |
Better to be the tree and the sea |
| [00:33.31] |
See? |
| [00:33.95] |
Don't be a cloud if you can be the sky |
| [00:37.71] |
Don't be a feather |
| [00:39.22] |
Be a bird and fly |
| [00:41.48] |
The clouds roll by |
| [00:42.28] |
But the sky rolls on |
| [00:43.26] |
And a bird can fly |
| [00:44.12] |
With a feather gone |
| [00:45.59] |
Be the bird and the sky |
| [00:46.16] |
And the tree and the deep blue sea |
| [00:48.82] |
Don't be anything less |
| [00:50.08] |
Than ev'rything you can be |
| [00:52.97] |
Don't be the sail if you can be the boat |
| [00:56.82] |
Don't be the lining if you can be the coat |
| [01:00.51] |
It may lose its sail |
| [01:01.39] |
But a boat will float |
| [01:02.39] |
And a coat without a lining |
| [01:03.27] |
Is still a coat |
| [01:04.43] |
Better to be the boat and the coat |
| [01:07.64] |
Quote! |
| [01:08.36] |
Don't be the stick if you can be the drum |
| [01:11.95] |
Don't be the sugar |
| [01:13.42] |
Be the plum, by gum |
| [01:15.63] |
You can break a stick but the drum will beat |
| [01:17.49] |
Without a sugar coat |
| [01:18.36] |
Plums're good to eat |
| [01:19.52] |
Better to be the drum |
| [01:20.83] |
And the plum and the coat |
| [01:21.72] |
And the boat and the bird and the sky and the tree |
| [01:24.56] |
And the deep blue sea |
| [01:26.89] |
Don't be anything less |
| [01:27.89] |
Than ev'rything you can be! |
| [01:30.78] |
Don't be the 'moo' if you can be the cow |
| [01:34.39] |
Don't be the furrow |
| [01:36.19] |
If you can be the plow |
| [01:37.94] |
'cause you can't get milk from a 'moo' no way |
| [01:39.98] |
And the furrow's in a rut |
| [01:40.87] |
But the plow's okay |
| [01:42.02] |
Better to be the cow and the plow! |
| [01:45.20] |
Now! |
| [01:45.87] |
Don't be the sting if you can be the bee |
| [01:49.71] |
Don`t be a two if you can be a three |
| [01:53.28] |
`cause a sting won`t make you a honeybun |
| [01:55.07] |
Take two from three and you still got one |
| [01:57.30] |
Better to be the three and a bee |
| [01:59.17] |
And a cow and a plow |
| [02:00.29] |
And a drum and a plum |
| [02:01.20] |
And a coat, boat, bird, sky, tree |
| [02:02.84] |
And the deep blue sea |
| [02:04.28] |
Don`t be anything less |
| [02:05.50] |
Than ev`rything you can be! |
| [02:08.40] |
Don`t be the string if you can be the kite |
| [02:12.38] |
Don`t be the darkness |
| [02:14.05] |
If you can be the light |
| [02:16.03] |
Tho` you lose its string you can fly a kite |
| [02:17.84] |
But would anybody here fly a kite at night? |
| [02:19.82] |
Better to be the kite and the light |
| [02:22.90] |
Right! |
| [02:23.46] |
Don`t be the tail if you can be the dog |
| [02:27.27] |
Don`t be the bump if you can be the log |
| [02:30.83] |
He can wag his tail |
| [02:31.65] |
But it can`t wag `he` |
| [02:32.57] |
A bump without a log |
| [02:33.47] |
Isn`t much to be |
| [02:34.51] |
Better to be the dog and the log |
| [02:36.51] |
And the kite and the light |
| [02:37.39] |
And the three and a bee |
| [02:38.27] |
And a cow and a plow |
| [02:39.22] |
And a drum and a plum |
| [02:40.10] |
And a coat and a boat |
| [02:41.01] |
And a bird and the sky and a tree |
| [02:43.29] |
And the deep blue sea! |
| [02:45.60] |
Don`t be anything less |
| [02:47.51] |
Than ev`rything you can be! |
