Your leaves are withered away
But your roots are still growing deep into my heart
So planted on good soil you'll stay
Nourishing both of us, nothing can tear us apart
I'll help provide food for your soul
Make sure you're on a firm foundation
All of me you'll have to hold
As we bring forth fruit to make a great nation
I'll be here through all four seasons
Nourish you in the scorching heat and freezing cold
Showing you that I love you for all the right reasons
Through your happy days and midnight sorrows
With our tears we become stronger
And grow together the years through
My love you'll never have to wonder
This soil was planted just for you.
