Lyrics

Birds follow spring
While the sun follows the rainbow
Now, why some people sing
When others bow their heads in sorrow
But oh, why some trees grow so tall
While other trees, they so small
Why is yesterday like today, it follows tomorrow
Why haven't I had the same quest in love, love
But oh, why some trees grow so tall
While other trees, they stay small
I've answer question one man can give
Why other trees, they stay small
Why is yesterday like today, it follows tomorrow
Oh-oh-oh, hear me say
