"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.

LyricsEdit

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!

Behind the scenesEdit

"The show ends with a tearful reunion with Chewbacca and family. Everyone gathers round as Carrie Fisher sings the Life Day song. This is pure torture, not because Fisher can't sing, but because it's so schmaltzy. Lyrics set to the tune of the Star Wars theme? Yeecchh!"

The Life Day is mentioned in the Venture Brother's Episode "A Very Venture Christmas".
