Silhouette Tree

(June 2017)

Mr. Tree how do you keep from falling down

Branches raised like you had just been found

I guess your roots, they grow so deep

They are your knees, they are your feet

Weather's been a devil, but you've stood tall

Making sure roots hold so you don't fall

And I swear if you had a face, it would be one of first place

And if I could call you by a name, it would be one of such grace

Black silhouette against the sky

First to see sunset, first to see sunrise

Hands held up, head held high

Knowing your freedom, knowing your pride

Your body blows in the wind

How I long to feel that on my skin

Even when night comes, there you are

Bold silhouette standing still in the dark

Your body blows in the wind

How I long to feel that on my skin

Even when night comes, there you are

Bold silhouette standing still in the dark

Aahhhhhhh

Watching over, making sure

All is calm and the world's tucked in

Eyes wide open, body turned

Ready to meet the sunrise again

Your body blows in the wind

How I long to feel that on my skin

Even when night comes, there you are

Bold silhouette standing still in the dark

Your body blows in the wind

How I long to feel that on my skin

Even when night comes, there you are

Bold silhouette standing still in the dark

Aahhhhhhh

Bold silhouette standing still in the dark

Bold silhouette standing still in the dark

Bold silhouette standing still in the dark

Bold silhouette standing still in the dark
