about

an ode to all my teachers

lyrics

So many trees in the forest
But this one is just a bit different
Stronger and taller and brighter
All in all rather magnificent
Constantly facing the sun

Your branches are reaching much higher
Your leaves look so green and succulent
In autumn you alter your colours
To yellow and golden magnificent
A safe place to hide when it rains

I want to grow just as strong as you
Just as bright as you
Just as fierce as you
I want to be just as wise as you
Just as nice as you
Just as dear as you

I am merely a sapling
Wanting to grow my own way
Securely under your coverage
Knowing how much that must weigh
Waiting for my Independence Day

I want to grow just as strong as you
Just as bright as you
Just as fierce as you
I want to be just as wise as you
Just as nice as you
Just as dear as you

Sometimes
When the night is extra cold
After lightning has struck
When your bark is feeling old
Rest your weary limbs
On me
Rest your weary limbs on me

I want to grow just as strong as you
Just as bright as you
Just as fierce as you
I want to be just as wise as you
Just as nice as you
Just as dear as you
