The tree.
Out there is a universe much greater than I,
But the place where I belong is where I reside.

One day I'll explore it. I'll touch every star,
And I'll find my way back to where you are.

One day I'll go out there, oh the things I will see.
Until then...I'll stay under the old tree.

Leaning my head against its bark.
Looking up at the sky, things aren't so dark.

I can feel it... the tree is living, breathing.
The leaves are alive... its heart is beating.


On these cool fall nights, I lay in peace
Under the shelter of the old tree.
