lyrics

Inside of me there lives a tree
Her branches grow, and all I know is
What I see and what I feel as me
I am and so shall be

My roots sink down into eternity
As I identify with just the pieces
Just the deeds and speech
The thoughts I seek to free

And I fall down as I stop
Holding on to the limbs which feed off past addictions
My skin sheds all along the path I walk
And who can see what grows beneath it

I belong, I belong to the stories of the ancient forest
I believe, I believe in the symphony of forest dreams
