lyrics
I planted you a tree, beautiful child
The sun hits the leaves and it makes me smile
It’s a portrait of the stars
And even though you never came, I still know your love
And I wonder what you would’ve been if you’d grown up, so
The future is ours
Are you gonna wait until it’s gone to appreciate
And are you gonna wait until it’s gone, it’ll be too late
And don’t worry little sapling, you’ll be okay
And one of these clouds will bring some rain, so
Drink deep and grow tall
You can live here, be in the now, return your body back to the ground
It’s the same for us all.
Are you gonna wait until it’s gone to appreciate
And are you gonna wait until it’s gone, it’ll be too late
But this strange, familiar face right in front of me
Speaks to me in a language the whole world knows
Deep in the shade, that’s under the leaves
I know it’s right here, waiting for me
They say peace is in every step,
In every heartbeat, in every breath, so
Why wage our war?
And they say happiness comes from within
But I can’t see how that tree could ever fruit again, so
Just love all the more
Are you gonna wait until it’s gone to appreciate
And are you gonna wait until it’s gone, it’ll be too late
