I Made You Myself Tree Song Lyrics

What makes a man grow from just a little seed?
Give me some thought, love
Love me carefully
I'll grow into something you'll never see
Plant me right, under the sunlight

Let it beat down on me
Then maybe I'll believe
Believe that we aren't born for just the purpose intended
We're good for other things

I know I'm not the biggest tree
But I'll give you all some heat you won't believe

I'll burn this forest down if it's just to prove a point
Why am I the only hope for me? The same stories are drilled into my head
And I'm sick of it

I refuse to stretch my roots
I refuse to stretch my roots into your scheme
I'm only living to me

If you're scared for me, then I am scared for me
It doesn't help the world to panic with each falling leaf

If you're a god to me, ungrateful I must be
Your act of kindness is the only act not fooling me
If I'm a bitter seed, so be it. I am free
I'll grow, the finest oak, the greenest green you've ever seen
