An Oak Tree

[00:11.62] Take a look at the oak trees
[00:14.43] In the park standing tall
[00:17.17] Like a tower of resilience
[00:19.17] Despite the leaves that fall
[00:22.64] Stripping them back to their fraught frames
[00:25.57] All naked and on display
[00:28.21] Like us they dress for the season
[00:30.07] It will soon be spring again
[00:33.59] And you and I were not designed to be evergreens
[00:38.76] I guess that it's time to long for April to come
[00:44.96] And am I willing to wait here again?
[00:48.44] Although I'm hungry and I'm tired
[00:50.64] And all the bridges I made on the way
[00:54.10] Are quickly turning into fires
[00:56.29] And as the embers are growing and no phoenix emerge
[01:01.75] I guess another set-back is just another lesson learnt
[01:07.32]
[01:29.69] Let's strip it back to the bare bones
[01:32.33] Though not a matter of choice
[01:35.29] There's still something of worth
[01:36.71] In just an acoustic and a voice
[01:40.87] And as the new shoots start growing
[01:43.76] At the start of the year
[01:46.47] The tree is ready to deliver
[01:48.02] Despite initial fears
[01:51.76] And you and I were not designed to be evergreens I guess
[01:57.64] That it's time, too long for April to come
[02:03.12] And am I willing to wait here again?
[02:06.64] Although I'm hungry and I'm tired
[02:08.80] And all the bridges I made on the way
[02:12.10] Are quickly turning into fires
[02:14.31] And as the embers are growing and no phoenix emerge
[02:19.72] I guess another set back is just another lesson learnt
[02:25.23]
