lyrics

You can't see the roots
From the top of the tree
You can't call yourself a root
If you don't sprout any leaves
You can't plant a garden
Without pulling some weeds
All your birds will die
If you aren't dropping any seeds

And you call yourself a root!
The audacity!
What have you done?
What have you grown?
You're just standing
In a potter's field all alone

Oak for skin and willow for bones
Worms for neighbors
And dirt for a home.
