Weathered Tree

Verse 1:
Weathered tree
It's leaves all scattered
It's branches seem
So tired and battered
Winter's here
The sky's turned gray
The bright frontier
Is gone 'til May

Chorus:
My leaves all decompose
I slowly am exposed
The wind and rain appear
It's here to stay i fear

Verse 2:
The birds are gone
The skies are bare
Of morning songs
They used to share
They will return
Again in spring
So why be concerned
About these things?

Chorus:
My leaves all decompose
I slowly am exposed
The wind and rain appear
It's here to stay i fear

Bridge:
But the wind and the rain have songs to sing themselves
They must praise their God above with everything as well
Though they are ferocious,
Though they are relentless,
And unpredictable,
They continue pressing,
And addressing
Their God as they're able

Verse 3:
The ground will thaw
My branches will bloom
Singing their song
In colorful tunes
Until then
I'll stand my ground
Hearing the wind
Make glorious sounds.
