Verse:
I see the trees round the poor girl’s home,
I see it’s branches are thin,
Roots of distrust are lying
Birds make their home down the road
Verse:
I feel the weight of the strong storm
Thick with envy and with pride
Worry fills my deepest prayers
For I know, not many care
Chorus:
Grow your trees
Grow your trees
Bridge:
I saw the girl

Chorus:
Whatever happened , to
When what’s expected of you
To love and work hard
Whatever happened, to
When what’s expected of you
To give your home away.
Verse:
Since when are fades and quiet grays,
Cherished in photographs
Since when is old and tattered, neat.
Dressed up filthy, Seen as clean
Verse:
Forgive me if, I’m far behind,
Forgive me if, I’m now blind,
But I have changed where, I’ll now sit,
I won’t move til I feel it’s fit.
Bridge:
To gaze upon the flocks of folks,
Listen to all the jokes
Come to pass, in the photographs.
In photographs, in memories

Verse:
If I’d count the times,
That I wondered where you were,
A proven care,
A chance to see my heart.
A big mistake,
To let you go,
And then say that I’m alright,
A fight inside,
Hide away my life once again
Verse:
Sat by the fire,
So my eyes they’d tire
And fade into a dream,
I’d hope to lose
What I cannot choose
Let my mind sail me away,
Get lost at sea,
A chance for me,
Lose sight of what has come,
I’d sooner face, another storm,
Then off I go to flee
Chorus:
I was wrong,
All along,
I was right,
Where I belong.
I was wrong,
All along
To have gone

Verse:
Follow the sun,
Follow the black crow,
Follow only what you know
Only what you know
Forgive the wind,
For it means not what it does,
It means not to take you far from home
Verse:
Beware of peace,
Beware of calmness
Beware of love, that’s far from home
A far off journey,
most likely teach me,
Of stranger’s secrets and lives before
Chorus:
I looked into the eyes
Looked into the eyes
Of that bear

Still Wrong

Chorus:
Don’t you treasure me the same,
Your heart unfolds, with open vain
Not a single ounce to gain,
Just pain
Verse:
Even in the weeds I feel your smile,
Fires by fires, burnt up miles
Chosen sunrise, sings your freedom,
After all I’ve seen God
Verse:
Pride stirs heartache, chases souls afar
Choirs and choirs sing of scars,
Rulers mention of the tension,
Power of nature and of self
Bridge:
All were pointing fingers, straight into my chest,
But none were making promises to do their very best
Suddenly it’s my fault?, lay me down to rest,
I know I’m not perfect, I know I’m not perfect
See I tried and I tried to love just like my God,
He died and He died for those whose mock and prod.
Give it all for those around me, give it all for those I love
And somehow I’m still wrong, somehow I’m still wrong
