Broken Tree
See this broken tree I wanna tell ya ‘bout It’s broken by so many storms and lightning bolts Right now the scene seems so peaceful The sun is shining But it is a deceptive illusion Listen to the wind Whispering between the leaves It’s telling fairytales of sorrow What else could I say? Over the years I fell in love With this tree, it’s reliable, I know Its roots run deep into this rotten ground In all those decades it Never dried up Coz it was constantly watered by tears What else can I say? This broken tree - it is me
