I am a small acorn, leaving my tall tree home
Tumbling down and down safe in my shell
Down to the ground
Deep in the ground I sleep, taking my time in peace
Dreaming an acorn's dream, I wake up to see
Now I'm a tree
Breathing the sun and rain, watching the seasons change
Feelings of joy inside, expressing my thanks
To be alive
And as the years go by, standing a long, long time
One day I realized the forest is deep
The forest is wise
I am a wise old oak, standing so tall and green
Stretching my branches high, growing in strength
Up to the sun
I am a small acorn, leaving my tall tree home
Tumbling down and down safe in my shell
Down to the ground
