Name: Trees
Duration: P00H04M06S
Description: The first half of this song was written on the west coast of Canada, on my first backpacking trip. It was the first time I had no plans and no schedule; frightening but freeing. The second half of the song was written after returning to the east coast, where I discovered I could remain free and creative in my own back yard: It's all a state of mind.

lyrics

*Verse 1*
Tall trees, small house.
Pacific breeze, forest close.
Hardly room to spread your arms,
infinite room to spread your soul.

*Verse 2*
All and more needed to live.
Thank the earth for what she gives
Moments, forever and fleeting.
Easy grace in every meeting.

*Pre-chorus*
Life is what you make it. Things are what you take them for.
We can’t alway see but we feel the pressure change
when we open up a door.

*Chorus*
Have faith but don’t wait for it all to come around.
Many paths, you’ve gotta choose the one to take.
Climb to the top and you will see the other side.
At the bottom all you’ll see is what you never tried.

*Verse 3*
You want a house, I want a home.
You want the meat, I’ll take the bones.
The world is ripe, you might as well eat.
The skin is sour but the fruit is sweet.

*Pre-chorus*

*Chorus*

*Verse 4*
Rolling seas, atlantic coast. Living with ease, more than most.
Our fruit is ripe, can’t wait to eat.
Be it sour or be it sweet.
