(Chorus)
At gayshi’, At gayshi’, sing to the trees
Lift your voice to the top of the trees
At gayshi’’, At gayshi’’, let’s sing to the trees
Imagine that you are a tree

Trees are home to many beings
Kangroos and birds and bees
Sheltering with their branches and leaves
They give us the air that we breathe

(Chorus)

Connected by roots to share what they need
Their power is community
Ancient like the wind and as old as the breeze
They belong to the Mother Earth’s family

(Chorus)

Just like you, just like me
There are differences you will see
And just like you, just like me
Each one has it’s own beauty

(Chorus)

Whether you’re a birch or an evergreen
Mighty oak or Mahogany
A willow, a pine or a Hickory
Stand tall, be proud, be a tree

(Chorus)
