Wings
04:57

I wish I had my wings
I know I could fly high up in the sky
But trees have roots down deep
So I'm bound to fly up in my mind
I think I found my wings
I know I could fly high up in the sky
My roots are there somewhere
My wings are everywhere
On land and air
Now I have found my wings
I know I can fly high up in the sky
My roots are there somewhere
My wings are everywhere
On land and air

Root Out
06:13
|

Missing rays of sun, its warmth against my leaves
Helping me feel as one, as roots go deep beneath
I hoped you would stay, to rest under my branches
I miss the days of endless bloom
Blossoming high, as you're passing by
When harvest came you were prepared
I wasn't aware of the sun and air I should kept spare
One by one we fall, failing to recall
What happened to the rest, before we took the test
Reaching in despair, hanging in thin air
You want so much to share what I can hardly bear
You say that life's unfair, so don't just stand & stare
It's time to be aware of your darkest scare
You can easily be there; without the glasses you wear
Time to break this fear's affair
Time to go, time to root out
Towards the sun, a full home run
At the end of the day, you earn to stay for another spin
Can't always win

We are all traveling trees
Roaming the lands of nature
Doing our best to live simple lives
To grow our roots and prosper
But when you cut the trees you don't like
There'll be no place for you too
There's a flame burning all
It won't stop till all trees fall
There's no us and them, no right and no wrong
You're a tree just like me
So don't cut me down
History just keeps repeating
There's nothing new under the sun
Pain is pain, sorrow is sorrow
No matter where your tree comes from
When it burns, it burns the same
Can't you see it's the same old flame
It keeps repeating, it's never ending
It just changes its name
But when you cut the trees you don't like
There'll be no place for you too

Seems like I can do it on my own
I feel like I can pull it off
You gave me all the wings I need
You gave me more than you could know
Time over time, I'm thinking what you would do
Getting used to who you are, how you are
And seems like I can do it on my own
Feels like I need no one
But I need you, I always needed you
Seems like I can do it on my own
You gave me all the wings I need
I feel like I can pull it off
You gave me more than you could know

Road Less Traveled
05:36
|
|||
Our whole notion of work-life balance is messed up
Actually our whole perception of life balance is distorted
Do you think day-care centers for children in workplaces
Help you feel closer to your loved ones?
Running around like mice in business labs
Squandering precious days for someone else's interests
Life that's based on recipes from broken shelves
We depend on everything except ourselves
Driving, texting, selfie-observing the landscape
Lab grown fruits yet no fruit tree around
Can't avoid the truth, it's simpler than it seems
The one that dies with the most money never wins
Running around like mice in business cage
Scattering your best days for someone else's caprices
Life that's based on recipes from broken shelves
We depend on everything except ourselves
Roads diverge, one known, the other less known
Take the road less traveled to make the difference
Make your trip count before it expires

Roots are always showing your truth
Will you ever set the path to be yourself
Live in peace with what's left?
And the days, they seem so long now
Each tick tock on your clock shows you what is dear
Every day we are here
How can you live without a home
How can you live without yours
Roads, there are so many
How can you choose which is right and which is wrong
If you don't know your song?
Choice is up to you now
Take the things you want to keep and lose the rest
Can't you see we are blessed?
How can live without a home
How can live without yours

Now my leaves have fallen
My timber fades
And when they'll cut me down
My roots are stronger than ever
