Life as a Tree Lyrics

Day Dreams and Night Lives

Chasing what might be

Round every next corner

Who knows what we'll see

Maybe an old friend

Or a store front reflection

Take a long brave look

At God's imperfection

There's the Rock and Roll star Hero

What the hell does he know

Different City each night

With his Snake oiled freak show

Strolling Babies they do cry

Soldiers do and die

And a Mama of three

Feeds your mini-bar each night

It takes a lifetime to the middle

A half life to the finish

Sacred moments like atoms

Some bonded, some free

We might bruise, we might lose

Maybe win, sometimes wonder

But a tree never Questioned

It's days as a seed

Well, Nobody's perfect

What fun would that be

We make our own movies

And star in them too

It takes two to tango

And billions for the big dance

We're lucky if we find

Just some of them who

Take All Souls for who they are

And in that take us too

This life is too short

Not to stand in those shoes

It takes a lifetime to the middle

A half life to the finish

Scattered moments like atoms

Some bonded, some free

My Daddy once told me

Son, don't be a jack-ass

And if you meet one, he's sleep walkin'

Just let him be

It takes a lifetime to the middle

A half life to the finish

Sacred moments like atoms

Some bonded, some free

We might bruise, we might lose

Maybe win, sometimes wonder

Old guitars never question

Their life as a Tree
