sometimes i feel like i'm made out of stone

sometimes i feel like i'm made out of stone

strong to a point but then i crumble alone

sometimes i wish i were a forest of trees

drink in the sunshine and then sway in your breeze

 

sometimes i feel that you're made out of wood

strong and beautiful, you flex when you should

but when the darkness falls you stand firm and strong

because you know the sun was there all along

 

and why do i cry if all i am is rock inside

and you, with your grace under fire

your branches grow higher whether rain or shine

 

you and i should be a garden in bloom

cluttered and beautiful with blossoms anew

and whether rain or shine we'll ebb and we'll flow

no matter which-a-way the cold wind blows
