i am a tree lyrics
[verse 1: gilli smyth]
i am a tree
my roots go deep in the ground
and i can just be
just being and just doing all that a tree does

[verse 2: gilli smyth]
i don’t mind that my roots are fixed in the earth
for my branches are free to float in the breeze
i sweep over hillsides dark brown and purple
life drips from my leaves
and longing for life thrills through my branches

[verse 3: gilli smyth]
as i am the sky
and the birds
and the tree
trees merge, trees do night fight trees
i am a tree, and a tree i’ll continue to be
when there’s no one about but me

[verse 4: gilli smyth]
i’m not a politician
i’m not a zookeeper
i’m not a general
i’m not a bishop
i simply am a tree
[verse 5: gilli smyth]
and if you think that’s simple
simply being what you are
look at yourself
are you simply what you are
or what you are prеtending to be?

[verse 6: gilli smyth]
you can cut my bark
i’ll not fight back
you can chop me down
my trunk will weep tеars of gum
and my tall length will lie like a chaise

[verse 7: gilli smyth]
but i say nothing
just letting my being, or not being, speak
i make no decisions
while i have life, i grow as i can
then i die
what am i? simply a tree

[outro: gilli smyth]
just letting my being, or not being, be
