The Tree Lyrics

I'm just like the tree

Standing on the hilltop

Reaching out toward the sky

Trying to grab the light

I can see

For miles

And I know I could grow if I could only rise above myself

I been tryin' to get some truth

Tryin' to harness my momentum

Like the wind that hits the mountainside

I must rise

Rise rise

And I know I could grow if I could only rise above myself

I don't really know

Why I can't let myself be like the tree

Why I can't trust

My roots firm and true

Maybe someday I'll see

That sunrise in my morning

When the current speeds me out

Where I belong

And I know I could grow if I could only rise above myself

My sister is the sea

I must harness her momentum

Ebb and Flow from tide to tide

So that I

Can survive

And I know I could grow if I could only rise above myself
