Taller Than Trees
Rising Above: Taller Than Trees' Inspiring Message
Lyrics
On your knees you are taller than trees
When you humble yourself (on your knees), you gain a perspective that surpasses the height of trees.
You can look over heartaches and fears
From this vantage point, you're able to see beyond emotional pain and worries.
When my faith is gone to my knees
When I've lost hope, I turn to prayer or a humble stance (my knees).
I will go growing stronger and taller than trees
During moments of despair, I find inner strength and resilience, surpassing any obstacle.
