Hanging Tree ;) | |
There have been many tales | |
Tainted by truth twisted by time… | |
Some choose to forget | |
Yet it still | |
Weaves webs in their minds… | |
And it seems like she's been here forever | |
Her branches as black as the seas | |
She's been through it all | |
By the luck of the draw | |
She became the old hanging tree… | |
She asked for nothing | |
Except maybe | |
A little rain… | |
They used her strength | |
To help them steal lives away… | |
And she witnessed the sadness and sorrow | |
To this day she still doesn't know why | |
But her heart broke | |
When they came with the rope | |
To declare her the old hanging tree… | |
Life stranger then fiction | |
Can make you want to cry | |
Roots could never stop her | |
From reaching for the sky… | |
Life stranger then fiction | |
Can make you want to cry | |
Roots could never stop her | |
From reaching for the sky… | |
Those years have all past | |
Lucky for us lucky for her… | |
Now, children play at her feet | |
And in her arms she cradles birds… | |
And it seems she's been here forever | |
These days are the best that she's seen | |
But somewhere in the back | |
Of her mind | |
Is the time | |
She was known as the old hanging tree… |
Hanging Tree | |
There have been many tales | |
Tainted by truth twisted by time | |
Some choose to forget | |
Yet it still | |
Weaves webs in their minds | |
And it seems like she' s been here forever | |
Her branches as black as the seas | |
She' s been through it all | |
By the luck of the draw | |
She became the old hanging tree | |
She asked for nothing | |
Except maybe | |
A little rain | |
They used her strength | |
To help them steal lives away | |
And she witnessed the sadness and sorrow | |
To this day she still doesn' t know why | |
But her heart broke | |
When they came with the rope | |
To declare her the old hanging tree | |
Life stranger then fiction | |
Can make you want to cry | |
Roots could never stop her | |
From reaching for the sky | |
