Olive trees are standing
Almond trees are standing
Olive trees are standing
All the trees are standing 2X
THERE
Big ones small ones
Short ones tall ones 2x
All the trees are standing 2X
Maple apple poplar pine
Weeping willows in a line
Waiting for the sun to shine
All the trees are standing 2X
Ash birch cedar elm oak tall
Leaves change color in the fall
Nature’s blessings one and all
All the trees are standing 2X
With water air and sun to grow
Branches high and roots below
In the rain and in the snow
All the trees are standing
Leaves and branches trunks and bark
In the sunlight in the dark
In the forests in the park
All the trees are standing 2x
Everyday from dusk to dawn
In the garden on the lawn
May the trees grow on and on
All the trees are standing 2x
LAST VERSE:
Fruits and flowers nuts and seeds
Giving us the air we need
Let’s go out and plant a tree so
All the trees KEEP standing
