The Tree

The tree grows where it's planted
 Roots wide underneath
 No matter how many storms pass it
 The apple never falls far from the tree
 The tree reaches up with its branched
 Spring-time comes, blossoming
 Early autumn the leaves are dancing
 And in the winter, there's wood for heat
 I've tried leaving and being
 Something I that was never meant to be
 And I've tried staying ever changing
 And standing in one place just like that tree
 The tree keeps watch, always swaying
 A silent friend remembering
 Hidden secrets, children play
 In the shade of its canopy

 I've tried leaving and being
 Something I that was never meant to be
 And I've tried staying ever changing
 And standing in one place just like that tree
 The tree grows where it's planted
 And that's the fate of a falling seed
 No matter how many times I've denied it
 The apple never falls far from the tree
 The apple never falls far from the tree
