Lyrics

Every branch reached for the morning
In a different kind of way
None of them apologized
For bending in the wind that day
No one counted every color
No one measured every bloom
Bloom arrived without permission
Quietly filling every room
The river never asked the mountain
If it flowed the better line
The sky never envied sunsets
It simply gave away its light
The trees never compared leaves
The stars never counted the sky
The waves never raced the ocean
They arrived, then passed us by
Maybe we invented numbers
For things the heart can't truly see
The trees never compared leaves
So why should you and me?
I spent years collecting echoes
From opinions in the air
Looking for a place to stand
Where no one stood above the rest
Then I saw an old oak waiting
Growing slowly through the years
Never asking smaller forests
To become what it appeared
Every season changed its colors
Without calling one the best
Even autumn let go softly
Never fearing what came next
The trees never compared leaves
The stars never counted the sky
The rain never judged the flowers
Blooming early, blooming late in life
Maybe we're the only creatures
Trying hard to disagree
The trees never compared leaves
So why should you and me?
If the forest kept a scoreboard
Would the birds still choose to sing?
Would the wind still dance so freely?
Would the dawn still welcome spring?
Maybe all the quiet answers
Have been growing all this time
Hidden in the ordinary
Waiting for us to unwind
The trees never compared leaves
The moon never questioned the sea
The sun never asked the morning
Who deserved its golden beams
Maybe life was never asking
Who became the tallest tree
The trees never compared leaves
Maybe neither should we
The forest kept on breathing
Without proving anything
I stood there long enough
To hear the silence sing
