I have a strength in me
I fall in and out of love with thee
Brew a cup of unsweetened tea
for my strength and me
I sit them down and we talk for hours
On my table a vase of flowers
they brought me from outside where it showers
rain against the window, the trees look like towers
My strength calmly saying
our worries we should be laying
down upon the roots, no need for praying
stop the constant weighing
Of your worth and mine
you don't own these trees or the rain but this life is thine
now we will have tea, soon enough we'll be drinking wine
Over a hot cup my strength promises: we'll be just fine

I have a strength in me
I fall in and out of love with thee
Brew a cup of unsweetened tea
for my strength and me
I sit them down and we talk for hours
On my table a vase of flowers
they brought me from outside where it showers
rain against the window, the trees look like towers
My strength calmly saying
our worries we should be laying
down upon the roots, no need for praying
stop the constant weighing
Of your worth and mine
you don't own these trees or the rain but this life is thine
now we will have tea, soon enough we'll be drinking wine
Over a hot cup my strength promises: we'll be just fine
