Talk To a Tree

Verse 1 Everybody’s loud, everybody’s rushing Everybody’s got advice they keep pushing Screens keep glowing like they know my name But they never held me through the rain I don’t need another person tryna fix me Don’t need another mouth to contradict me I need dirt under my shoes, wind in my hair Something ancient that already knows I’m there Pre-Chorus So I step past the noise Past the doors, past the doubt And I let the wild world Teach me how to breathe out Chorus Go outside and just try talking to a tree Tell it all the things you thought nobody would believe Let the roots listen deep Let the leaves set you free Go outside and just try talking to a tree It won’t judge your broken branches It won’t ask why you still bleed Sometimes the oldest kind of healing Is standing quietly Go outside and just try talking to a tree Verse 2 I told the oak I’m tired of pretending Like every wound has a clean ending It didn’t answer, but it didn’t leave And somehow that felt like company I pressed my hand against its weathered skin Felt my heartbeat find the earth again Maybe wisdom doesn’t need to shout Maybe silence knows what life’s about Pre-Chorus So I lean into the bark Like a prayer without a name And for once I don’t feel crazy For feeling so much pain Chorus Go outside and just try talking to a tree Tell it all the things you thought nobody would believe Let the roots listen deep Let the leaves set you free Go outside and just try talking to a tree It won’t judge your broken branches It won’t ask why you still bleed Sometimes the oldest kind of healing Is standing quietly Go outside and just try talking to a tree Bridge And maybe I’m not lost Maybe I’m just growing slow Maybe storms don’t mean the end They just teach the roots to hold Maybe I’m not strange For needing space to breathe Maybe the world still speaks Through rivers, stones, and trees Final Chorus Go outside and just try talking to a tree Tell it all the grief you carried secretly Let the sunlight touch your face Let the dirt hold what you need Go outside and just try talking to a tree It won’t laugh at your questions It won’t rush you to be healed It just stands there like a witness To everything you feel Go outside, take your pain, let it be Go outside and just try talking to a tree Outro And if the world feels too heavy And people feel too mean Find the quiet in the branches And remember you’re still green.
