The Tree That Remembered

The Tree That Remembered Verse 1 I walked beneath the olive leaves, A quiet road, a gentle breeze. I never heard a warning call, Until the forest closed its walls. An ancient trunk became my sky, The daylight vanished from my eyes. Through tiny cracks I watched the trail... The world I'd known had turned so pale. Pre-Chorus Then a voice, Older than the rain, Spoke my name Like it carried all my shame. Chorus "You took my fruit... But not my pain. You blessed the harvest, Forgot the rain. I gave you seasons, Shade and light... Will you remember me When I cannot fight?" Oh... The tree remembered... Every promise... Every year. And I learned Roots can hear. Verse 2 It spoke of summers left alone, Of thirsty roots beneath the stone. Of silent gifts it gave away, Without a single word to say. Its anger wasn't born from hate, But from the weight of endless wait. A lonely heart behind the bark, Still reaching through the endless dark. Bridge I signed my name Upon the wind, Swore I'd never fail again. Not with ink... Not with blood... But with water... Hope... And love. Final Chorus Now every autumn I return, With grateful hands and lessons learned. I don't just gather what she grows, I thank the soul nobody knows. Some people break The vows they make... Like leaves that fall And never wake. But trees... They never lie. They keep your words Beneath the sky. So if one day You walk that road, And hear no sound... Walk slow. The oldest hearts Don't beat... They grow
