lyrics

The wire’s untangled again; I’ll have to retie myself to that pin.
It’s bruising all of my skin, and my bark has changed its color.
But it helps be stand when my roots can’t, and holds my smile when my heart is mild.
So I’ll tie two times as tight, cause the wire is untangled again.

The wire is strong and sturdy again; about two or three more years till when
I’ll have to pull back my branches, to decrease my chances of falling straight down to the ground.
But until then I will stand and shine and gleam for you I do look good in green for you.
I will be so well known for you, cause the wire is strong and sturdy again.

When this tree starts leaning down I won’t retie it better, when my leaves start falling off I won’t worry I’m lesser.
Than all the ones that tower, they seem so strong together, but down here I don’t have to lie I just sit and hear you clearer, down here I don’t have lie I just lay.
