lyrics

It's never too late, to learn something new
Felt great discomfort, with every branch I grew.
The wind's will shake me, watch my trunk sway
Lightning could break me, and I can't run away.
I'm a tree still standing
Feel my roots expanding
Trying to get a better look.
All of my fine feathered friends, come to visit me
Tell me of their travels, world's I'll never see.
The wind's will shake me, watch my trunk sway
Lightning could break me, and I can't run away.
I'm a tree still standing
Feel my roots expanding
Trying to get a better look.
I can't get enough, get enough of the light
Need to grow up tall and reach the sky that glows above so bright
Soon enough I reached the sun, the heat did not agree with me
Longing for some shade as I watch hot flames replace my leaves
I'm a tree still standing
Feel my roots expanding
Trying to get a better look.
