Old Friend

Together we stood by an old friend

His branches had cracked his spirit was spent

Stood high on the stump I became the tree

I felt the breeze blow through my leaves

And my bare feet became the roots

And my bare feet became the roots

My bare feet became the roots

And my bare feet became the roots

Remember we played on sunny days

Enjoyed the safety of your shade

I can see your memories

Thank you for your energy

And my bare feet became the roots

My bare feet became the roots

And my bare feet became the roots

And my bare feet became the roots

I look at you now and begin to cry

We're taller than you for the first time

"Look how you've grown" I hear you say

My brother and I won't forget that day

When our bare feet became the roots

When our bare feet became the roots

When our bare feet became the roots

Our bare feet became the roots

"Boys, you're older now,

So much wiser somehow

I've shown new things to you

Show love in all you do"
