To the Trees Songtext
von Christian Williams

I used my hands to part the earth, pushed the seed into the dirt
And called out for the rain.
The sky above soon answered back, festered up and turned to black
And hallelujahs rang.
I watched the soil turn into mud,
The seed beneath then opened up
And knew which way to reach.
It met the sun and broke the ground,
The leaves turned green, the bark turned brown;
I claimed its shade for sleep. I felt the bitter chill of fall,
Heard the winds of winter call
And saw the branches naked.
The cold and snow both took their toll,
I knew my time to pass was close.
I went outside and waited.
I woke to feel the warmth of spring
And heard the birds begin to sing while
Perched along my arms.
