It was a lonely Saturday
It was sunny no trees to give me shade 
I sat quietly
My head was in a fog
I had a rough week
Wasn’t sure if it hadn’t ended yet
I needed release
I took a hatchet to a log
FAnd as I brought the hatchet dEown
D7and forced the blade into the A5thick wood
FI remembered wEhere
D7Its segments originA5ated
FIt was a great tree standing Ewell
D7Its roots dug deep into the A5ground
FIt’s great arms once stretched Eout
D7It’s leaves spread deep into the A5clouds
COh tree sorry this is the way it Ehad to be
Sorry we often Fsee your limbs as potential enerFmgy
COh tree how I wish I could hear your stories
EYour conversations with the wind
Fhow you earn your twists and bends 
Fmmy ear to you I lend oh tree
CI think you’ve got the best philosoEphy
FKeep the center of your mass low because you’re thirsty 
FmAllowing for perpetual growth without falling down

Oh my hatchet with ambition you resist my stride
Who knew that something could be so strong in the afterlife
Can’t feel my fingers I’ve been at this a while
I’ll shake the silence until you're part of the pile 
COh tree I’ll show you a way to be free
EI’ll set fire to your body and Fstare into the sunlight that you’ve 
captured in your Fmdays oh Ctree 
CI hope your flickering wisdom will show me
Ehow to live my life in harmFony
Give me diFmrection for my journey as your

DmNo longer dependent on Fmher
DmYou can fly like the birds that Fmonce used your branches to Cperch
