Why birds follow spring
Like the sun follows the rainbow
Now why some people sing
When others bow their heads in sorrow
But oh, why some trees are so tall
While others they stay small
Why's yesterday like today
It follows tomorrow
But oh whoah, lala ladada la
Lalala da dadada laaaa laaaa
Oh, why some trees are so tall
While others they stay small
Why some trees, oooohh, are so tall
While others they stay small
Why's yesterday like today
It follows tomorrow
Why, ladadadada, why, somebody please
Why some trees are so tall
While others they stay small
La ladada la la lala
Laa lalala la la lala
Ladadad la la lalala....
