I split the earth On a sunlit day Tears fell slow Washed the dust away Light was kind It met my green Gave me strength I felt seen The wind was gentle It carried a song Brushed my leaves I danced along I grew new branches My stem got thicker Beneath my skin The weather turned bitter Young and naive I faced the storm Marks of that struggle In my bark took form The wind was gentle It carried a song I couldn't feel it Something was wrong Light returned I was not the same My green was there But no fruit ever came I felt lonely I cried for a reason I told myself This is my last season The wind was gentle It carried a song I couldn't hear it I didn't belong A cloud passed by It cleared my sight My green was weak But I still could write I turned the page Shaped a new verse Next wind My soul I'll immerse The wind was gentle It carried me on Soft and patient All along I sensed a breeze I tuned in Green smile Above my chin I heard it low I felt it clear It sang the truth Right in my ear The wind is gentle It carries me on Pure love Steady and strong Today I feel The waves are real I sing the green And let me heal
