Once We Were Trees

Once I grew as a tree
Surrounded by beauty and love
Now it’s all been covered over
With no room to stretch as I grow
I know it’s hard and painful inside
When you’re looking for peace of mind
When love’s gone away and you
Feel alone every day and every night
Now I stand as a man
Searching for beauty and love
I might be old and grey then
With no room to stretch as I grow
