Once a tall Tree
I’m a tree
A tall tree standing taller out of the rest of the forest
I’m strong, I hold it all up among the ground up
I’m tall and fine
Days go and nights stay by
I’m tall to hold it all but soon I’ll fall
I’ll fall to the ground
No longer tall to hold everything up
I’m a tall tree with life and will
But cut me down and I will fall
Leaves fall one by one
No longer shall I stand
No longer shall the will of life be among the things I hold
No more life, no more joy
Just something you used to enjoy
I was a tree
