Feelin' like I don't belong in the tree
Even though I helped plant the seed

I don't want a million green leafs
Thats not what I need

Cross kingdom traffic has me secluded
I'd fly over the canopy just to be included,
Again

I've always nourished the growth of the tree
And I still do even though it no longer incorporates me
For oxygen is need in an environment thats choking,
Depleted

But trees don't live forever
And the birds that live in that tree don't always flock together
It's winter, time to follow the good weather,
Alone
