Текст песни Little Tree (Abie Rotenberg) с переводом

I am but a little tree

That only seeks to live in peace

To spread my seeds upon the earth

And firm my roots within the soil

Of the land my father gave to me

And his father gave to him

Made by the Father of us all

But the woodsman

With an ax poised in his hand

Said it’s my sacred duty

To clear away this land

And on this place that I call home

I will plant a field of stone

I am but a little tree

That only seeks to live in peace

To spread my seeds upon the earth

And firm my roots within the soil

Of the land my father gave to me

And his father gave to him

Made by the Father of us all

While the sly fox

Aloof, cool and remote

Said I cannot be distracted

By the bloodstains on my coat

I can feel the woodsman pain

Perhaps the tree should not remain

I am but a little tree

That only seeks to live in peace

To spread my seeds upon the earth

And firm my roots within the soil

Of the land my father gave to me

And his father gave to him

Made by the Father of us all

And the eagle

High above so far away

Said it’s in my best interest

To see the small tree stay

No it need not thrive like I

But why not let it stay alive

Though storm and wind may come

I’ll bend but never break

And like all those before me

I’ll stay true to my faith

That soon will come a day

When all will gather 'neath my shade

I am but a little tree

That only seeks to live in peace

To spread my seeds upon the earth

And firm my roots within the soil

Of the land my father gave to me

And his father gave to him

Made by the Father of us all
