peter oren - i wish i were a tree lyrics
i wish i were a tree
so i wouldn’t have to wander
catch the sun on my leaves
put root to the earth that birthed me
strive only to stand a bit taller
been perched precariously
like the shopping cart on the hilltop down the street
i am beholden to the breeze
on this now wind i am seed
and for the soil i hunger
i feel as old as love
old as the ocean in the clouds above
i quit my patience for youth
and i caught the caboose, so i’m leaving
much of me you won’t be seeing
now i stand before the judge
before my peers and my own love
my only answer is just because
maybe i don’t know too much
and seems finding out usually ain’t easy
been too long a gear on the grind
wasting my time and my mind
when my movements are not mine
this intelligent design ain’t divine
it’s why i’m depressed and a heathen
so if i knock please open up
please give me bread and fill my cup
don’t want cash i’ve had enough
i’d work for food and a place to touch
my head for a night of deep sleeping
i wish i were a tree
so i wouldn’t have to wander
