Children Within - Hollow Tree lyrics

I'm a hollow tree Where people take shelter When the war is over They'll cut me down My mind is weak and My blood is floating slowly The winter was cold this year Expanding my kingdom Feet by feet I carry the trace of a fire so huge My friends they took To build up their fleet I carry the trace of a fire It's easy to break It's easy to shake And the hollow tree is fragile When the crown is bursting into leaves It's easy to break It's easy to shake And the hollow tree is tired When the vein of water's empty I'm a lifeless oak Singing in the stormy winter When the springtime comes My branches crack My life is long and My crown is rising proudly Towards the stars at night I climb Expanding my kingdom Feet by feet I carry the trace of a fire so huge My friends they took To build up their fleet I carry the trace of a fire It's easy to break It's easy to shake And the hollow tree is fragile When the crown is bursting into leaves It's easy to break It's easy to shake And the hollow tree is tired When the vein of water's empty
