We look to the strongest light in the sky
We've been living here since the dawn of time
We don't count the days we've got the sun in sight
And we've been watching you this whole while
Some of us have roots and some have wings that fly
But we are like you, we all get born and die
We can teach you how to know what's wrong and right
By showing you how much we love about this life
We don't take too much
We have a light, it's just enough
And when we go we don't mind
We get the life, we give the life
Look at all the beauty that the light has raised
A garden like a heaven on the earth we make
Why would you go off looking for another whole world
When you could just love this one that welcomes you?
