Be like me sang the bird not so high up in the tree
I am simply just a song that needed me to sing
And I'll sing for you or anyone who will listen to me sing
For the joy that swells within me when I hear my sweet voice ring
Be like me sang the bird (3x) when I hear my sweet voice ring

Be like me sang the tree as I stand before the wind
I reach up for the sun as my roots reach deep within
And I draw from both the earth and sky from these I fill my needs
And I gladly give my life to you to build the air you breathe
Be like me sang the tree (3x) for I build the air you breathe

Be like me sang the river, I'm like the lifeline on your palm
Eternity in motion and an ever-changing song
You may dam me and divert me or poison life from me
But from a trickle in the mountains I will always reach the sea
Be like me sang the river (3x) I will always reach the sea

Be like me sang the ground I'm the womb from which you start
Please learn to feed each other please open up your hearts
As I've given of myself to you, to each other give the same
Know in spite of what you do to me I love you all the same
Be like me sang the ground(3x) for I love you all the same
