From the recording Tall Like the Tree
Words and Music by Delaney Gibson and Joshua Bartholomew
Lyrics
I want to be
Part of the sea
I want to belong
To something
I want to be
Tall like the tree
I want to bend
I break easily
I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to be
I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming
Don’t you let me down
Not this time
I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming
Don’t you let me drown
Take my mind, let my body walk around
I want to be
A tributary
A river that flows
Endlessly
I want to be
Grounded and free
More than the sum total parts
You took from me
Chorus
I've given way to the click of the clock
Cause I don’t want to escape
All the bruises and knocks
Meant to turn me into gold
My soul is only a billion seconds old
And I can finally feel my roots taking
hold
As my lifetime
Unfolds
Chorus
I want to be tall like the tree
I want to believe
I want to be
To be
