Willow Tree

The way the willow tree

Is beaten by the wind

Her soft hair billowing

With the song of rain

She holds steady

Beneath new builds

Her old frame grown

In its small field

She is power

In all this rain

She shows me how to

Transform my pain

I will bend and shake

As she does

My roots still holding firm

Holding firm with love

She wades by water

Where my building is a mast

There in her pocket

Is a story of what lasts

Her strength windswept

By a sky of heavy towers

A silent stretch of beauty

That the city can't devour

She is power

In all this rain

She shows me how to

Transform my pain

I will bend and shake

As she does

My roots still holding firm

Holding firm with love

To love well is to remember

In every exchange

In every encounter

We are all one

Yeah, all connected

By the wide web of things

By the air we breathe

That passes between

Our soft lungs

And the delicate green leaves

By the water we drink that relieves

Our parched throats

Find me, and meet me there

In that kaleidoscopic dance

And love me well

Meet me there

And love me well

Meet me there

And love me well

She is power

In all this rain

She shows me how to

Transform my pain

I will bend and shake

As she does

My roots still holding firm

Holding firm with love

She is power

In all this rain

She shows me how to

Transform my pain

I will bend and shake

As she does

My roots still holding firm

Holding firm with love

Meet me there

With love

Meet me there
