Tree of Life
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
"Tree of Life," also known as "A Day to Celebrate," was a song created by the Wookiees of Kashyyyk as a celebratory hymn for Life Day. It allowed Wookiees who couldn't attend their homeworld to celebrate in some small way, wherever they happened to be.
At the 0 BBY Life Day celebration on Kashyyyk, Leia Organa sang this song for everyone in attendance at the Tree of Life.

[edit] Lyrics
- We celebrate a day of peace,
- a day of harmony,
- a day of joy we all can share together joyously;
- a day that takes us through the darkness,
- a day that leads us into might,
- a day that makes us want to celebrate the light;
- a day that brings the promise that one day we'll be free...
- to live,
- to laugh,
- to dream,
- to grow,
- to trust,
- to love,
- to be!
