The Tortoise and the Apple Tree

[Verse] A hungry tortoise on the ground Looks up an apple to be found The wind is breezy birds around His hunger grows no help is found [Verse 2] He stretches out his neck so long But apple high his legs so strong The tree just sway the leaves they dance He needs some help to take a chance [Chorus] Oh a tortoise oh a tree Hungry eyes what does he see Elephant big and kind and true Helping hand what friends will do [Verse 3] The elephant steps in so grand Lends his trunk a helping hand Lifts the tortoise with a smile Up the tree to eat in style [Verse 4] Munching apple sweet delight Tortoise beams in pure sunlight Birds are singing wind is bright Friends together makes it right [Bridge] In a world where kindness grows From an apple tree that shows Every friend has got a role Big and small it warms the soul
