Lyrics:
Father to my Mother
Who died when I was twelve
Who didn’t leave a fortune
But a different kind of wealth

A peach for me to climb in
With fruit under its leaves
Which season after season became quite a little seed

More than just a father
He was a high almighty king
Who built himself an empire
With a small handful of seeds

And never was too noble
To get down on his knees
A seer into the future,
He was The Man Who Planted Trees

—

At dawn he’d catch the light away
To see what the night had brought
With coffee to repair the mind
And mend the damage done

He handed me a hat of his
To protect me from the sun
“Seek refuge in the shade,” he’d say
“Or burnt you will become.”

More than just a farmer
He was a brilliant engineer
Whose footsteps took him farther
As the fertilized the fields

And on a nation root stock
He’d place new varieties
A believer of the future
He was the Man Who Planted Trees

Ohhhh oh oh ohhhhhh ohhhh oh 🎵🎶🎵🎶

He taught me how to kiss the ground
And be grateful with my words aloud
Even the air is different now
And I’m gonna make him proud

‘Cause in the not-to-distant time ahead
Time will dispose of me
And distill me to my essence
In that great big compost heap

And if I get to heaven
The kind of angel i will be
Is one who guides another
Toward the light out on the sea

I’ll be just like my grandfather
A servant and a king
And leave behind a land brightened
By all the love I’ll bring

Singing while I’m sweating
Showing work don’t bother me

The future’s made by dreamers
And the Men Who Planted Trees
