lyrics

Trees and the bushes dont mind our rubbish and trash
They grow perfectly still thru our storms, only wind
Can alter their branches
And the crows and the sparrows are playin together
This morning, they dont mind our differences, no
They simply celebrate for the cause of Spring

Keep your eyes to the birds and the trees
For they simply celebrate
Everyday, every day, every day
They grow closer to everything

The trees and the bushes dont mind our emptiness
They dont feel the confusion, cant see
The dishonest faces of men

And they carry on in foliage costumes-
Look, this one wears an ivy vest, this one with
Mossy knees, it occurs to me, they dance a
Certain dance in rhythm with the breeze

And the crows and the sparrows are playing together
This morning, they dont mind our differences, no,
They simply celebrate for the cause of things

Keep your eyes to the birds and the trees
For they simply celebrate
Everyday, every day, every day
They grow closer to everything
