Sun's out, clouds gone, autumn in the air
And a friend I've had throughout my life is waving at me over there
She stands in quiet solitude from the moment she was born
And her strength and perseverance make the cold air feel warm
Is there anything better than a tree?
If you ask me, it ain't that hard to see
How about 20 million? 20 million trees!
Making 20 trillion little baby leaves
And I can't help but choke up thinkin' bout all the birds and bees
Living in 20 million, 20 million trees
Let's plant 20 million, 20 million trees!
I'm talkin' bout
I really dig how surface tension carries water to the stems
Converting carbon dioxide into lovely oxygen
And how they use that photosynthesis
Turning sunlight into food
There's nothing in this world that puts me in a better mood
Is there anything better than a tree?
If you ask me, it ain't that hard to see
How about 20 million? 20 million trees!
Making 20 trillion little baby leaves
And I can't help but choke up thinking about all the birds and bees
Living in 20 million, 20 million trees
Let's plant 20 million, 20 million trees!
Oh yeah yeah yeah!
♪
Imagine if we all could plant one tree
Oh, what a better place this world would be
Let's plant 20 million, 20 million trees!
Making 20 trillion little baby leaves
And I can't help but choke up thinking about all the birds and bees
Living in 20 million, 20 million trees!
Let's plant 20 Fir and 10 Cedar and a hundred Hickory
And a couple thousand Cottonwoods
Sounds pretty good to me
We'll get some White Ash, Black Birch
And a million Red Pine
And a thousand Sugar Maple cause
They're lookin' mighty fine
Ten thousand Honey-Locust standing proudly in the sun
And a million extra Oak trees isn't hurting anyone
A couple hundred thousand Palm trees
Swaying in the ocean breeze
Deciduous, coniferous, and everything in between
Yeah yeah yeah!
Let's plant 20 million, 20 million trees!
