Planting Trees Lyrics - Counting Stars - Andrew Peterson

We chose the spot 

We dug the hole 

We laid the maples in the ground 

To have and hold 

As autumn falls 

To winters sleep 

We pray that somehow in the spring 

The roots grow deep 

And many years from now 

Long after we are gone 

These trees will spread their branches out 

And bless the dawn, hmm 

He took a plane 

To Africa 

He gathered up into his arms 

An orphan son

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

So many years from now 

Long after we are gone 

This tree will spread its branches out 

And bless the dawn 

So sit down and write that letter 

Sign up and join the fight 

Sink in to all that matters 

Step out into the light 

Let go of all that's passing 

Lift up the least of these 

Lean into something lasting 

Planting trees, hmm, yeah 

She rises up 

As morning breaks 

She moves among these rooms alone 

Before we wake 

Photos 

And her heart is so full 

It overflows 

She waters us with love 

And the children grow 

So many years from now 

Long after we are gone 

These trees will spread their branches out 

And bless the dawn 

These trees will spread their branches out 

And bless someone, hmm
