I am a burning building
You are my tall wall that is still standing
I can't contain my flame that is always burning
You can't keep calming.  Your ocean's too demanding

I am a structure that is always crumbling
My frame is cracked and my composition is lacking
I have no time to keep going on like this pretending
I have no control over these matters that are pending

I see no flaw with my way of understanding
You have no law I see that is worth defending
This is my temple.  It's only love I am sending
These are our wounds, I am only but mending

I am a towering Banyan tree
I am ancient and wise beyond almost everything
I stand, I stand watchful of what every new sun brings
Quiet, I stand just listening to all of the birds sing
I am the leaf that is whistling in the wind
I dance all the time and I'm never mad at anything
My time is now and look at all of the change that it brings
So much to take in.  How could I be saddened by anything?

I've seen so much in all my years of standing
I see your struggle and it is only but ending
This is my love and soon, you will be understanding
This is my heart that I am forever lending

I am, I am the subtle secrecy that you leak
I am, I am the silent truth that does not need to speak
I am, I am the soft quiet guidance that you keep
You are, you are the very same prophet that you seek
