Evergreen

Venture west they said There's a forest out there Far away The elements can batter At her threshold But she grows on Just the same So much life inside her It'd take a lifetime to survey No apostate to my nature I have wandered here alone With an inkling for my compass And no string attached to guide me safely home And I'm no expert on what Grows beneath your shade Only journeyed far In the hope you'd let me stay I want to wander Through your woods awhile I want to know The size and shape of every leaf I want to drink the rain that falls From your trees on high I want to know if you are What you look to be Beautiful, but above all else You seem Evergreen And I'll keep quiet here Observe your mystery And walk the winding paths With no knowing Where they lead And maybe they'll just Spit me out And I'll be doomed To wander more But what a shame that'd be There's much here to adore I want to wander Through your woods awhile I want to know The size and shape of every leaf I want to drink the rain that falls From your trees on high I want to know if you are What you look to be Beautiful, but above all else You seem Evergreen Evergreen don't need Your lumber for my bed I'll take my rest Up in your branches in the air And let the evening breeze Be comfort and my cover And quietly I'll Mindfully I'll Peacefully I'll Mind the fruit you bear Don't want to own The land you grow upon Don't want to carve my name In hearts on all your trees Just don't expel me 'Til I see the dawn And the way The sunlight break your canopy Cause I don't know But I think you are Cause you sure look This way to me Oh I tell you I tell you You're evergreen Evergreen
