lyrics

i will dig this hole and someday maybe plant a tree
the dogs will try to get the birds and there'll be
plenty of shade for you and me

i will try to help this tree stand till it can stand
on its own
its branches will move and its leaves will shake
but it won't fall no matter how hard
the wind is blowin'

and the sun will rise on the other side of today
and the sun will set on this side of tomorrow
and the moon will glow with just enough light for you
and the stars will draw their heroes and monsters

you could dig this hole and someday maybe
plant a tree
their branches may meet in the middle and there'll be
plenty of room for a blanket and you and me

and your dreams will carry you through the storm
and your dreams will wake you before the morning
and your toes will hold you upright to the wind
and your fingers will draw the only map you'll need
