about

A song about a tree, but also social justice.

lyrics

I want a tree that won't burn down
Made of love and titanium
Where the sound of the branches and the leaves well I think they'll kill me with all their beauty
Are everything I want to say and live and breathe all relying on one tree
And the trunk of the tree won't be too big around so that we can't hug it when they try to cut it down.
She cries

Everyone has tried to tear me down but I stood up, apart of the ground and said "we stand on the same plane of land and if you can't bend your mind for some length of time then shame on you because I won't move and it's a waste for you to try and change this too.

And the blades will cut and spin and twirl but this tree stands the strongest in the world.
Her branches can hold the worlds tears. Because we all cry and it's hard to survive without breaking down once in a while. You can be the queen in a Kingdom of lies, the crown you chose will keep you alive.”

Everyone has tried to tear me down but I stood up, apart of the ground and said "we stand on the same plane of land and if you can't bend your mind for some length of time then shame on you because I won't move and it's a waste for you to try and change this too.

So I want a forever tree.
made of titanium and can hold what we have to bring.
We can laugh and cry and hurt sometimes but it'll be the constant in our lives.

Everyone has tried to tear me down but I stood up, apart of the ground and said "we stand on the same plane of land and if you can't bend your mind for some length of time then shame on you because I won't move and it's a waste for you to try and change this too.
