I'm just a little tree,
A little tree that struggles to live
- to live normal and grow like all of the other trees,
...
You ever seen a tree...
...that grows in the shadow of another tree?
Yeah, we'll that's me.
It's all puny and misshapen because it's just bending and twisting...
...trying so desperately to get some sunlight.
If somebody just cut off a few feet of that big tree...
...that little tree could grow up strong.
But no, that's not the way life works, right?
They all love that big tree, right? They're all proud of that one.
They hate the crap out of the little one next to it.
The little tree that refuses to grow right.
And you know what? Till somebody comes along and cuts down that big tree...
...that little tree is never gonna get any light. Any light.
Story of my life...
