lyrics

I eat the sun, I drink the light.
I am a conjurer. My sugar is self-sacrifice.
I cut my arm to feed my leg.
I am waiting for nothing, needing for nothing. I am an army, I am the mother of them all,
I can regenerate.
I clone a nation from my foot.
I am a country of one.
I am a family; I am a household.
I have skin and I can bruise and I can bleed, and I can cry. I make my friends. We are connected.
We are inseparable. We grow intertwined.
We share the sky, we are agreed.
I can give, and I can care for.
I’ve got other mouths to feed.
They need me.
I am a tree. I know secrets that you will never know. I channel lighting. I see in color.
I make the air you need to grow.
I’m not a man, I’m not a woman. Surprisingly I’m both.
And when I know that I must die
I put the best of me back into the ground. I stretch for miles and miles and miles. And let’s not forget my leaves:
Clouds of green.
