Green Leaf 02:32

Green Leaf - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt Green leaf, green leaf, where did you go? Did someone tell you about the coming snow? Where are you hiding? I want to know Green leaf, where did you go? Red leaves on the ground Make the sweetest sound I like to kick them all over my town Red leaves are looking at me And I say, "Red leaf, where is Mr. Green?" Green leaf, green leaf, where did you go? Did someone tell you about the coming snow? Where are you hiding? I want to know Green leaf, where did you go? Orange leaves in a pile Bring the sweetest smiles I jump in them for a little while Orange leaves are looking at me And I say, "Orange leaf, where is Mr. Green?" Green leaf, green leaf, where did you go? Did someone tell you about the coming snow? Where are you hiding? I want to know Green leaf, where did you go? Yellow leaves falling down Spinning all around I like to catch them before they hit the ground Yellow leaves are looking at me And I say, "Yellow leaf, where is Mr. Green?" Green leaf, green leaf, where did you go? Did someone tell you about the coming snow? Where are you hiding? I want to know Green leaf, where did you go? Green leaf, where did you go? Green leaf, where did you go?

Catch Me - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt Wind is blowing, birds are going The land is a rainbow I can hold in my hand Feel a calling, whispers in the wind Chase them down to tree Who wants to play with me? And tree says, catch me, catch me, If you can Catch my leaves before they fall to the land Catch me, catch me And hold me in your hands! Branches swaying, me and tree are playing Twirling, swirling, whirling Their leaves surround me… With red, orange, yellow, Brown, green, purple I see all the colours in the leaves! And tree says, catch me, catch me, If you can Catch my leaves before they fall to the land Catch me, catch me And hold me in your hands! Catch me, catch me, If you can Catch my leaves before they fall to the land Catch me, catch me And hold me in your hands!

Sneaky Tree - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt The wind it blows, it is so cold I’ve covered every part of me And tree stands tall, their arms reach out They’ve taken off all their leaves! And now I see, oh I see They’ve been hiding something from me Oh yes I see Oh way up high, In the sky That sneaky tree, they’ve been hiding branches from me! The wind it blows, it is so cold I’ve covered every part of me And tree stands tall, their arms reach out They’ve taken off all their leaves! And now I see, oh I see They’ve been hiding something from me Oh yes I see Oh way up high, In the sky That sneaky tree, they’ve been hiding a nest from me! The wind it blows, it is so cold I’ve covered every part of me And tree stands tall, their arms reach out They’ve taken off all their leaves! And now I see, oh I see They’ve been hiding something from me Oh yes I see Oh way up high, In the sky That sneaky tree, they’ve been hiding.. Oh wait a minute…

Bend, but not Break 02:58

Bend, but not Break - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt When the cold wind starts blowing And the snowflakes start falling And you’ve dropped all of your leaves to the ground How do you stand, oh so steady? Ready for anything How did you learn to bend, but not break? And I will stand by your side Raise my arms up, spread my fingers wide And rest my two feet on the ground Feel the wind roll around Feel the push and the pull and stand my ground I’ll look to you, I’ll stand with you So I might learn, too When the cold wind starts blowing And the snowflakes start falling And you’ve dropped all of your leaves to the ground How do you stand, oh so steady? Ready for anything How did you learn to bend, but not break?

Lullaby for Tree - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt Snowflakes are falling, making a blanket deep Each snowflake glistens Their twinkle lulls you to sleep When you sleep, I hope you dream Of the birds, the nests and squirrels When you sleep, tree so sweet I hope you dream of me Tree, close your eyes The world is at peace Tree, I will stay with you While you drift off to sleep When you sleep, I hope you dream Of the birds, the nests and squirrels When you sleep, tree so sweet I hope you dream of me

Tracks in the Snow - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt I’m not the only one who's been playing with Tree I’m not the only one, there’s tracks in the snow for all to see I followed them up and down Followed them all around Tree has made a new friend and I wonder who they can be Tell me, Tree… Is your friend big or small? Do they walk or crawl? Or do they soar in the sky? Do they like to play in the night or day, And do they like hide and seek like you and me? Oh tree… are they a… squirrel? I’m not the only one who's been playing with Tree I’m not the only one, there’s tracks in the snow for all to see I followed them up and down Followed them all around Tree has made a new friend and I wonder who they can be Tell me, Tree… Is your friend big or small? Do they walk or crawl? Or do they soar in the sky? Do they like to play in the night or day, And do they like hide and seek like you and me? Oh tree… are they an owl? I’m not the only one who's been playing with Tree I’m not the only one, there’s tracks in the snow for all to see I followed them up and down Followed them all around Tree has made a new friend and I wonder who they can be Tell me, Tree… Tell me, Tree… Tell me, Tree… Tell me, Tree…

Sweet Tree - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt Look at me, bundled three layers deep The morning air was freezing! And now I’m hot, that sun warmed me up And it feels so sweet Oh, Tree, can you hear me? Ain’t that sun so sweet? Are you awake? Do you want to play? Are you still sleeping? Sweet Tree! I look at you and I’m looking for clues Is there anything you can tell me? Are you hot? Has that sun warmed you up? Do you feel so sweet? Oh, Tree, can you hear me? Ain’t that sun so sweet? Are you awake? Do you want to play? Are you still sleeping? Sweet Tree! I look up, I look down From your tips to the ground I look around and around Looking for clues that want to be found! Oh, Tree, do you hear me? Ain’t that sun so sweet? Are you awake? Do you want to play? Are you still sleeping? Oh, Tree, can you hear me? Ain’t that sun so sweet? Are you awake? Do you want to play? Are you still sleeping? Sweet Tree! Sweet Tree! Sweet Tree! Sweet Tree!

Calm Like Tree - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt How do you do it, standing so tall? It’s been a long, cold winter You never went in at all To rest your arms, reaching out 1-2-3 can I be Calm and still, like Tree Feel the cold in my hands And stand, and stand How do you do it, standing so tall? When the wind blows so hard Do you ever want to fall And rest your cheek on the ground? 1-2-3 can I be Calm and still, like Tree Feel the wind in my hands And stand, and stand How do you do it, standing so tall? When your buds are bursting Don’t you want to open them all And show me what you hide inside How do you keep your secrets for such a long time? 1-2-3 can I be Calm and still, like Tree Feel magic in my hands And stand, and stand Feel magic in my hands And stand, and stand

What Kind of Leaves - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt What kind of leaves, What kind of leaves, What kind of leaves will I see? The days are getting longer, The sun is getting stronger, What kind of leaves will I see? Will the green leaves come back? If I go for a walk, will they tickle my back? Will the green leaves come back? What kind of leaves, What kind of leaves, What kind of leaves will I see? The days are getting longer, The sun is getting stronger, What kind of leaves will I see? Will the big leaves come back? If I go for a walk, will they tickle my back? Will the big leaves come back? What kind of leaves, What kind of leaves, What kind of leaves will I see? The days are getting longer, The sun is getting stronger, What kind of leaves will I see? The days are getting longer, The sun is getting stronger, What kind of leaves will I see?

Thank You, Tree - Land Heart Song Written by Tiiu Strutt Thank you, Tree, for being here for me For growing your leaves so broad Thank you, Tree, for being here for me For the shade from the hot sun!
