I See a Tree

I see a tree
And it is dying
I see a tree
And I feel it crying



Why must life be this way
It must make us all fade
Quietly taking us away
The final choice is made

Away from all we know
Slowly slipping away
Falling with the flow
Can’t see anything today
Blinded in the darkness of my way



I do not know anything now
I take the final bow

Knowing what I did is wrong
I will not go far along

It ends tonight
Then I realize
Our lives can turn to light

I see a new beginning
Starting a new day
Cannot keep on going
Until I see this new way



This I will not ruin
Keep it from wasting away
Knowledge of the past behind me
Won’t let it get in my way
With only one thing in mind
I won’t do this again



I look down and
I see a seed
Then I see a sprout


A new life beginning
Because out of the old
Comes anew

Keep on thinking of this new
So glad I was one of the few
Who could see this in a way
The way we see it is

A new life
Is a new beginning, too
