The Sapling

Gonna lay down in the grass and
 Watch that acorn split in two
 Slowly take root
 While the clock upon the wall makes idle boasts
 And the mind's out cruising silent coasts
 Though the ghosts of better days might twist my eyes
 Gonna stand my ground
 Watch that sapling rise
 Just as long as I've the strength
 Well, I'll raise that flag
 Like a wisp of cloud from a mountain crag
 Now, this is awkward
 I kept it bottled up too long
 Years like tiny drops of rain on a glassy lake
 Leaving nought but circles in their wake
 Though we barely comprehend what the question is
 Only know for certain, the answer's yes
 Now this is awkward
 Really don't know where to begin
 I kept it bottled up too long
 (I know that feeling too, yeah)
 Don't ask me where the time has gone
 (I know that feeling too, yeah)
 Days I can't tell no right from wrong
 (I know that feeling too, yeah)
 I kept it bottled up too long
 (Know that feeling, know that feeling)
 Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it
 (Like sunlight breaking through, yeah)
 Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it
 (I know that feeling too)
 Gonna lay down in the grass and
 Watch that acorn split in two
 Slowly take root
 (Take root)
