The forest scribbled out the answers
I didn't listen, I didn't care!
I broke my shell in all directions
Born in soil, turned towards air
As I bored, you swore I’d be free
Well, I’m here
Then you sold my core to the skyline
You didn’t care
Did I wonder which way was up!
As I struggled with each new step
As I fumbled and shed my tears
I was alive
My father lives near the top of the mountain
While my mother sleeps inside the lake
My brothers and sisters all surround me
And they all sway together in the breeze
But I don’t
‘Cause I’m hurting and straining to be seen
Now I'm strong from the battles
O’ I have no more fear!
I’ll wander—ascend for years
And I’ll stretch my roots into the earth
And I’ll tower above my peers
I will shine!
I'll grow into the eyes of the forest!
I’ll be proud as I look down upon my peers!
Then a stranger with an axe will stand before me
I’m the fool
I didn't listen, I didn't care!
I broke my shell in all directions
Born in soil, turned towards air
As I bored, you swore I’d be free
Well, I’m here
Then you sold my core to the skyline
You didn’t care
Did I wonder which way was up!
As I struggled with each new step
As I fumbled and shed my tears
I was alive
My father lives near the top of the mountain
While my mother sleeps inside the lake
My brothers and sisters all surround me
And they all sway together in the breeze
But I don’t
‘Cause I’m hurting and straining to be seen
Now I'm strong from the battles
O’ I have no more fear!
I’ll wander—ascend for years
And I’ll stretch my roots into the earth
And I’ll tower above my peers
I will shine!
I'll grow into the eyes of the forest!
I’ll be proud as I look down upon my peers!
Then a stranger with an axe will stand before me
I’m the fool
