Look - how long my branches are!
With all these leaves to spare,
the sun must surely like me
because it is always there.

Look - how deep my roots are!
With all this food to spare,
the earth must surely favor me
because it is always there.

Look - how far my shadows reach!
With all this shade to spare,
the people must surely adore me
because they’re always there.

Look - how strong my trunk is!
With all these rings to spare,
the axe must surely love me
because it is always there.
