Redwood

lyrics

Hello, darling, why’re you hiding
There inside your skin
Shrinking in your sweater
Like some kind of guilty kid

Someone called you wonderful
For making yourself small
Truth is you were born to stand
A thousand feet tall

You are a redwood tree
Quietly holding the moon
And the yellow stars in your arms
This is who you are
The soul of the forest

Branches reaching to the sun
Your roots are digging deep
Spend a lifetime handing out
What everybody needs

Are you missing something
From your selfless point of view
All the love you give us wants to
Give itself to you

You are a redwood tree
Quietly holding the moon
And the yellow stars in your arms
This is who you are
The soul of the forest

I will be a mirror
I will be a lake
Smiling up at you
‘Til you see your own face
How I see you now
What a giant you are
A canopy covering our hearts

I will be a mirror
I will be a lake
Smiling up at you
‘Til you see your own face
How I see you now
What a giant you are
A canopy covering our hearts

I will be a mirror
I will be a lake
Smiling up at you
‘Til you see your own face
How I see you now
What a giant you are
A canopy covering all our hearts

You are a redwood tree
Quietly holding the moon
And the yellow stars in your arms
This is who you are
Who you are
The soul of the forest
