Take me to the forest so I can see,
How a seed becomes a tree,
And how a bee, despite its size,
Can zigzag miles through the skies.
Take me to the forest so I can learn,
How an egg becomes a bird,
And why the leaves, when days grow cold,
Turn from green to red and gold.
Take me to the forest so I can climb,
And learn to face the fears I find.
I want to jump and romp all day,
The way that I was meant to play!
Take me to the forest so I can be,
Like the eagle, wild and free.
I’ll learn to love things great and small
I’ll learn, like trees, to be proud, stand tall.
A child of the woods, I’ll be,
A student of the stars,
I’ll figure out just where I fit,
In this great, big world of ours.
