I Made You Myself - Tree Song lyrics

What makes a man grow from just a little seed? Give me some thought, love Love me carefully I'll grow into something you'll never see Plant me right, under the sunlight Let it beat down on me Then maybe I'll believe Believe that we aren't born for just the purpose intended We're good for other things I know I'm not the biggest tree But I'll give you all some heat you won't believe I'll burn this forest down if it's just to prove a point Why am I the only hope for me? The same stories are drilled into my head And I'm sick of it I refuse to stretch my roots I refuse to stretch my roots into your scheme I'm only living to me If you're scared for me, then I am scared for me It doesn't help the world to panic with each falling leaf If you're a god to me, ungrateful I must be Your act of kindness is the only act not fooling me If I'm a bitter seed, so be it. I am free I'll grow, the finest oak, the greenest green you've ever seen
