ALL THE TREES ARE STANDING:
based on Traditional melody; new words © Fran Avni

Olive trees are standing
Almond trees are standing
Olive trees are standing
All the trees are standing  2X

THERE
ARE:
Big ones small ones
Short ones tall ones    2x
All the trees are standing  2X

Maple apple poplar pine

Weeping willows in a line

Waiting for the sun to shine

All the trees are standing  2X


Ash birch cedar elm oak tall
Leaves change color in the fall
Nature’s blessings one and all
All the trees are standing  2X

 With water air and sun to grow
Branches high and roots below
In the rain and in the snow
All the trees are standing


Leaves and branches  trunks and bark
In the sunlight in the dark
In the forests in the park
All the trees are standing 2x

Everyday from dusk to dawn
In the garden on the lawn
May the trees grow on and on
All the trees are standing 2x

 LAST VERSE:

Fruits and flowers nuts and seeds

Giving us the air we need

Let’s go out and plant a tree so

All the trees KEEP standing
