about

My Dad taught me how to use Garageband on my ipad. This is the first song I wrote and recorded. I made it as the creative component for my final project at school this year. I hope you all like it.

lyrics

The Guardian
By : Ruby Sophia Arnold

I am a tree, that is me
I am the guardian of all earth
and you cut us down
what a shame to look on the ground
and see what you have brought down
what you have brought down

Don’t cut me down with a blade so sharp
don’t shred me and burn me
I am here for reasons so do not harm me
You need me, I need you for this life to work out
so do not cut me down
We stand are ground
with our roots and our leaves

I am a tree, that is me
I am the guardian of all earth
and you cut us down
what a shame to look on the ground
and see what you have brought down…
what you have brought down.

The seasons pass and we turn brown
and gray but we are going to stay
strong and tall because we do
not want to be chopped up and burned
I do not want to be shredded
and used for your schoolwork
or to hold your dirty plates and forks
We are a creature of beauty and wonder and
we stand tall and strong
But we are still a tree and we deserve
to be able to grow and blossom
with our core full and bright, without being cut down
Because we live like you
how would you liked to be chopped like me?

I am a tree, that is me
I am the guardian of all earth,
and you cut us down, what a shame to look on the ground
and see what you have brought down
what you have brought down
