歌詞
[Intro]
I want to be a tree
[Verse 1]
When my time has come
Don't put me in a box
And skip the fancy shiva
No platters of bagels and lox
[Verse 2]
Lay down that spike and chisel
No headstone will I need
Yeah, when I die, my wish is clear
Just plant me like a seed
[Chorus]
'Cause I want to be a tree
Yeah, I want to be a tree
With plenty of leaves and bark to spare
For everyone to see
[Chorus]
I want to be a tree
Yes, I want to be a tree
You can sit right down under my shade
That'll be enough for me
[Verse 3]
I read it, and it's true
Make a pod from my remains
Then stick me in the ground
And pray for sun and rain
[Verse 4]
The richness from my body
Will supercharge the earth
And like a natural maternity ward
To a sapling I'll give birth
[Chorus]
So I want to be a tree
Yeah, I want to be a tree
With plenty of leaves and bark to spare
For everyone to see
[Chorus]
I want to be a tree
You can sit right down under my shade
That'll be enough for me
[Verse 5]
So don't stick me in an urn
For some relative to keep
And please don't throw me overboard
To the bottom of the deep
[Verse 6]
No twenty-one-gun salute
So just put those guns to bed
I've got a much more peaceful wish
Bring the garden tools instead
[Chorus]
'Cause I want to be a tree
Yeah, I want to be a tree
With plenty of leaves and bark to spare
For everyone to see
[Chorus]
I want to be a tree
Yeah, I want to be a tree
Standing firm and tall
Glorious and free
[Chorus]
I want to be a tree
You can sit right down under my shade
That'll be enough for me
[Outro]
You can sit right down under my shade
That will be enough for me
