Why I sing...

I sing about brown because it is the color of a tree trunk.
I sing about a tree trunk because it is part of a tree.
I sing about trees because they give us oxygen.
I sing about oxygen because it helps us breathe.
I sing about breathing because it keeps us alive.
I sing about being alive because when we are alive
       we are not dead.
I sing about being not dead because if all of us were dead
      then there would be nobody to take care of the Earth.
