I’m just a bee
Find any flower, and I nest in any tree
And I wait and see
Don’t want to do something that might come back to haunt me
Any apple, any tree
I need somewhere to lay my hat, sleep peacefully
But I decay, so steadily
I need reassurance that I’m where I’m supposed to be

Cause there are trees and there are flowers
There’s a million ways for me
To satisfy my needs
And I can’t understand it, no, I never seem to see
Chase the things I want
Don’t wait for them to come to me

Am I what you need?
Do I define success by putting others’ minds at ease?
I’m so afraid, I’m afraid to be
I take any suggestion and I eat it forcefully
All the options, everyday
You say something different, but you say: Sam, it’s the only way
But any outcome, that I see
Might make someone happy, but I’m not sure that someone’s me

Cause there are trees and there are flowers
There’s a million ways for me
To satisfy my needs
And I can’t understand it, no, I never seem to see
Chase the things I want
Don’t wait for them to come to me

Oh, don’t wait for them to come to me
I’ll be the change I want to see
I’ll stop complaining
I’ll shut my mouth
I got to figure out what being me is all about

Cause there are trees and there are flowers
There’s a million ways for me
To satisfy my needs
And I can’t understand it, no, I never seem to see
Chase the things I want
Don’t wait for them to come to me
