In the Tree

When I run outside wanting to cry,

I climb the tree and feel I can fly!

All of my worries float far away

As I look at the beautiful day.

        When I am up here

        My head becomes clear.

        My thoughts all go straight.

        I can hardly wait

    To put it all into words,

    Starting with the calling birds:

Whirperdee, whirperdee, whirper wee-wee-wee, werrwe!

Cheeper, cheeper, cheeper!

Wher-whepher, wepher!
