Giving Tree
Rooted Generosity: Glyph Society's Giving Tree Unveiled
Lyrics
I think it's time for a change of pace
I feel the need for a change in my life's rhythm
I think it's time I quit hogging my own shade
I realize it's time to stop being selfish and share
My bark is thin but my roots run deep
Though I may seem vulnerable, my foundations are strong
The wind will blow but I will be unafraid
Despite challenges, I will face them fearlessly
I'll give you my apples, my branches and
I am willing to give you everything, including my fruits and branches
You'll sail on, and I'll remain here
While you move forward, I will stay in my place
I'll give you my leaves and my trunk, and I'll
I offer you my leaves and the core of who I am
Count these rings just hoping for you
I count the growth rings, symbolizing my anticipation for you
After all that's what giving trees do
Generosity is inherent in my nature as a giving tree
After all that's what giving trees do
Reiteration of the giving nature of trees
I think for now I'll just hide your blade
I choose to protect myself from harm
And feel the moss as it covers me over
Embracing a sense of stillness and acceptance
But if you ever return home late
If you come back, I'll be here waiting
I'll be here, and
I'll continue to offer my support
I'll give you my apples, my branches and
Repeating the willingness to give everything
You'll sail on, and I'll remain here
While you move ahead, I'll stay rooted
I'll give you my leaves and my trunk, and I'll
Expressing readiness to sacrifice for you
Count these rings just hoping for you
Continued anticipation for your return
After all that's what giving trees do
Reiterating the inherent nature of giving trees
(I'll give you my apples, my branches and)
Repetition emphasizing the act of giving
After all that's what giving trees do
Emphasizing the continuity of the giver's stance
(You'll sail on, and I'll remain here)
Highlighting the giver's persistence despite separations
After all that's what giving trees do
Reaffirming the commitment to giving
(I'll give you my leaves and my trunk, and I'll)
Expressing the consistent readiness to sacrifice
After all that's what giving trees do
Repeating the nature of giving, emphasizing sacrifice
(Count these rings just hoping for you)
Continuing to eagerly await your return
