Tree of Life

Location

The tree grows, and then the tree dies

The wind blows, to the people's cries

We are a tree of life, both you and I

We grow to live, if even just to try

 

I love each branch as if each my own

Each branch a brother, for this I've known

Follow my roots, and the path is shown

Skies my only freedom, just let me roam

 

So we grow to live, and we live to die

To live a truth and not die a lie,

Find who we are in this game of Eye Spy

And learn to accept, before despise

 

To each leaf his own but together we rise

Under the sun, in the light of all eyes

We grow together, this tree of life

Only time will tell, the wrong from right
