[00:15.77] We chose the spot, we dug the hole
[00:21.60]
[00:23.54] We laid the maples in the ground to have and hold
[00:29.34]
[00:30.97] As Autumn falls to Winters sleep
[00:37.02]
[00:38.89] We pray that somehow in the Spring
[00:42.76] The roots grow deep
[00:44.83]
[00:46.52] And many years from now
[00:49.20]
[00:50.34] Long after we are gone
[00:53.04]
[00:54.29] These trees will spread their branches out
[00:57.24] And bless the dawn
[00:59.69]
[01:09.74] He took a plane to Africa
[01:14.99]
[01:17.12] He gathered up into his arms
[01:20.24]
[01:20.93] An orphan son
[01:22.86]
[01:24.49] So many years from now
[01:27.29]
[01:28.54] Long after we are gone
[01:31.16]
[01:32.53] This tree will spread its branches out
[01:35.41] And bless the dawn
[01:36.90]
[01:39.78] So sit down and write that letter
[01:42.59]
[01:43.92] Sign up and join the fight
[01:46.41]
[01:47.79] Sink in to all that matters
[01:50.94]
[01:51.74] Step out into the light
[01:54.19]
[01:55.73] Let go of all that's passing
[01:58.84]
[01:59.72] Lift up the least of these
[02:03.20]
[02:03.71] Lean into something lasting
[02:06.45]
[02:07.27] Planting trees
[02:09.89]
[02:19.32] She rises up as morning breaks
[02:25.25]
[02:26.56] She moves among these rooms alone
[02:29.87]
[02:30.50] Before we wake
[02:32.56]
[02:33.98] And her heart is so full; it overflows
[02:42.04] She waters us with love and the children grow
[02:49.90] So many years from now
[02:53.22]
[02:53.79] Long after we are gone
[02:56.99]
[02:57.68] These trees will spread their branches out
[03:00.70] And bless the dawn
[03:02.82]
[03:05.37] These trees will spread their branches out
[03:08.12] And bless someone
[03:09.75]
