Green Tree
by Buddy Greene

Album: Looking Back

I got a green tree growin' in my backyard
It grows so high, seems so easy for the green tree
Growin' in my backyard
And there's a lot of birds livin' in the green tree
Flyin' 'round, singin', eatin' and raisin' up a family
Seems so easy in the green tree

And a few things occurred to me while studyin' the green tree
And considerin' the birds and the way they all live so easily
And I thought you might like to know
So I put it in a song just to show
There's a lot you can learn by simply meditating
On a green tree - growin' in your backyard

I spend a lot of time chasin' after little things
They seem so big and important, but they're really just little things
Itsy, bitsy, teeny, tiny little things
And the reason that I know that they're little things
Is cause the Lord said the birds and the lillies never worry 'bout little things
What you eat and what you wear, ya know, the little things

And that's what occurred to me...

The next time you start to worry
You better hurry, scurry on out the back door
And find a green tree growin' in your backyard
Sit back in the shade, man, you got it made
God loves you more than any bird livin' in the green tree
Man, He loves you and He loves me

additional chorus
And if God takes care of the birds livin' in the green tree
Well, it goes without sayin' He's gonna be lookin' after you and me
But I thought you might need to know
So I put it in a song just to show
There's a lot you can learn by simply meditating on a green tree
Growin' in your backyard

And that's what occurred to me...
