Songs written from the viewpoint of a tree.. as in the singer IS a tree, not up a tree or in a tree.. and not merely songs about trees either

Beach Boys, "A Day in the Life of a Tree"

"For years my limbs stretched to the sky
A nest for birds to sit and sing"

Guided By Voices, "I Am a Tree"

"Don't interrupt - you know the squirrels are my friends
Get off my limb - for I will break before I bend"

*Bonzos, "Quiet Walks and Summer Talks"

"There's no expression on my face and no footsteps leave my trace
They pass me by in quiet talk, hand in hand on a summer walk"

(*always thought this might be a tree, but I suppose it's just as likely it's being song by a flower or a bit of shrubbery)

Thinking there mist be a folk song or two that fits the bill here

(Spelling all over the place this afternoon)

MY old friend M.Allen used to have a song about trees. In truth, it was just the Moments and Whatnauts' "Girls" recast:

"Trees, love the things they know
love the things that they show
got to be where they grow
pretty trees,
sunshine in their leaves
the pefume that they weave
Trees are everywhere..."

I'm tall I need room to grow
I need the sun in my eyes
My home is the earth below
One day I know I will touch the sky

Don't cut me down
For I am innocent
Don't cut me down
I am your friend

I sigh when the four winds blow
I cry when the cool rains fall
I shine in the moonlight's glow
I am a home for the great and small

Don't cut me down
For I am innocent
Don't cut me down
I am your friend

Give me a year
A year another year
It takes me time for new life to appear
You cut me down
Quicker than I can regrow
Give me a chance
I am the air you breathe
Imagine what life would be without me
I have been here
Longer than you have you know
Harvest the seeds you sow

Don't cut me down
For I am innocent
Don't cut me down
I am your friend

I'm tall I need room to grow
I need the sun in my eyes
My home is the earth below
One day I know I will touch the sky

Don't cut me down
For I am innocent
Don't cut me down
I am your friend

For I will never mend
Don't cut me down
I am your friend

Imani Coppola - I'm A Tree

I was aiming at Dave Matthews Band's 'Dreaming Tree' and Cree Summer's 'Fall' but those are both told from the perspective of the narrator.

suddenly all my lights were gone
and I felt like I didn't belong
I was left in the streets to die
and everybody passed me by
