Speak what is right. Grow spiritually while always staying true to who you are.
It all begins with a threatening shout
An unspoken spark of doubt
Blood is spilled
People are killed
The war rages on
As I lay in the blood soaked lawn
Walls crash down around me
All is gone but a wizened tree
It's thin branches spread wide
Calling me to his side
I throw my hands to the sky
Why oh why
He whispers my name
Why I exclaim
Silence fills the air
Speak I dare
The tree stays silent
The war inside goes violent
Speak says the tree
Speak to me
My heart drops
The war stops
Speak what is right
Don't lose the fight
The tree grows high
The branches reach the sky
I will grow like the tree
I will always be me
