A little tree

In a brook

Surrounded by those taller, smarter, stronger than thee


You'll grow, you'll see.

You'll be as tall as me.

You'll be as strong as me.


Oh, little tree, you're just like me.

They tell you you'll grow, but they steal

The water, the nutrients, the sun, out from under you


Oh, little tree, at  the mercy,

Of nature, human greed, and necessity

Oh, little tree, you're just like me.
