Under the tree
is a little brown seed
That you find in a dusting of snow
You pick it up and you bring it inside
An d you promise the
seed that you'll help
it to grow
You promise you'll help it to grow
We find a jar and we fill it with earth,
where we plant the seed later that day.
Though we can't see it, it's growing and growing,
an d if it could talk it would say,
Thanks for the love that you've shown me,
right now I'm so very small.
But with love and with light
I will keep gaining height
And then one day I'll stand
at a hundred feet tall
I'll stand at a hundred feet tall
Up from the earth grows a little green stalk
Of leaves that unfold to the sun
Under the earth roots are
growing and growing
Something exciting's already begun
Or something's already begun
Thanks for the love
that you've shown me
Right now I'm so very small
But with love and with light
I will keep gaining height
And then one day I'll stand
at a hundred feet tall
I'll stand at a hundred feet tall
If anyone says that you're too
small to matter
That isn't true
The love in your heart that
you share with the world
Makes a giant of you
Now the jar is too small
Because the tree's grown so big from
that very small seed that you found
We'll take it outside, lift it out of the jar
And we'll plant the tree in the ground,
in the ground
We'll plant the tree in the ground
Thanks for the love that you've shown
To a little brown seed that
you found in the fall
I hope you will visit and
climb in my bowels
And together we'll stand
at a hundred feet tall
We'll stand at a hundred feet tall
Together we'll stand at a
hundred feet tall
We'll stand at a hundred
feet tall
you
