A FAVORITE SON
A FAVORITE SON
I am the favorite son
Of the mother earth
Holding me close to her bosom
Just a simple tree
I am the favorite son
Of the mother earth
Holding me close to her bosom
Just a simple tree
Filled with leaves and branches
Waving to birds, bees and humans
Sheltering all, healing the troubled souls
You may not hear me
I talk to those who listen to me
My leaves love free wind
They chuckle and play with her
Finally they follow the wind
Leaving empty bare branches behind
Seems like somebody has painted the sky
Sunset and clouds play, form varied shapes in the sky
Waving to birds, bees and humans
Sheltering all, healing the troubled souls
You may not hear me
I talk to those who listen to me
My leaves love free wind
They chuckle and play with her
Finally they follow the wind
Leaving empty bare branches behind
Seems like somebody has painted the sky
Sunset and clouds play, form varied shapes in the sky
I sigh to catch your eye
I carry fire within me
Give people whatever they want
Give people whatever they want
Fresh fruit, flowers and fresh air
I ignite imagination and creativity
Crafted into a natural wonder or a deity
Is a beauty cherished forever
It fulfills me
I wait for years and years
For someone to hold me, to mold me
Make me beautiful
Nurture me with love
Left alone my trunk hardens
But I don't loose my heart
And I become wood - in a wood
I wait for years and years
I whither not and I waste not
I am not bound by time
I am the beloved of time
You take your time
Come and hold me, chisel me
Make me a piece of beauty
Cherish me with pride
That's what I love
So I wait for years and years
A simple son of the mother earth
I am a tree
Just a simple tree
