lyrics

TREE

If it arises in your mind -
Feelings of desire and hate
Try to be silent for a while
Like a tree you must remain

And if you’re looking to complain
Or spoil another person’s name
Try to be silent for a while
Like a tree you must remain

YOUR ROOTS GO DOWN
WHILE THE WORLD WILL SPIN AROUND AND ROUND
MORE EASILY
YOUR TROUBLES LOOK SO SMALL
YOU WON’T NOTICE THEM AT ALL
IF YOU REMAIN LIKE A TREE

And when you yearn for admiration
honor, attention and fame
If you long for recognition
Like a tree you must remain

And when you’re filled with jealousy
It can only bring you pain
Clear the space inside your mind-
Like a tree you must remain

Look at yourself from every side
Get those thoughts out of your brain
Clear the space inside your mind
Like a tree you must remain
