lyrics

WHEN I BEGUN

And if I am to be a giving tree,
then you can have all of my leaves.
When I begun there were none,
so if they're gone now,
I will get by somehow,
and if they're all gone now,
we can get by.

Feel the strength of my limbs,
if you want you can have them.
When I begun there were none.
So if they're gone now,
i will get by somehow.
And if they're all gone now,
we can get by.

And when the rain comes,
if you need to stay afloat,
make my trunk into a boat.

When I begun there wasn't one,
so if it's gone now,
I will get by somehow.
and if it's gone now,
we can get by.

And if you took a love sprout,
and grew it in a flower pot,
and placed it on my flower bed.
Then I would never see light,
and i could never grow my own,
and I could never give you my all.

For when the rain comes.
And when your knees give out.
We can watch the world from here.

And we will never have need,
if we all become giving trees.
And we will never have need,
if we all become.
The way
