Branches blow in the breeze
Bend and break in harsh win'
In the cold of winter will freeze
Die thinking no more life again,
Roots will burrow deep in the groun'
Protected from the elements
Seeking water when it's so far down
When strong seldom relents,
Were you to cut down a tree
Leaving the roots behind
No matter how hard the groun' you poun'
One day a seedling tree you'll find,
Life is not always what you see
Oft times it's more the unseen
That let my branches bend carefree,
My deep roots will keep me green
Letting not in a hard wind break
With deep roots I'll always be
Even if the earth should quake.
