Banyan Tree

Grow Let your body flow Slow Time is just a stumbling block All your leaves are passing skin Get ready for a new spring When I'm a drained, dry tree I don't let the wind dissolve me I become a little higher Every time I'm reborn When I die there's no fire That could burn my armor I've been a twig A seedling That you'll not break so easily When I'm small A little ghost Underground my roots are grown You used to tread on my flowers Now sit under the shade of me Home My branches are the safest nest Voices Spirits make the wood that I am My soul has always been here Is made of all breaths passed near I was just a little seed And now a temple Standing still I become a little higher Every time I'm reborn When I die there's no fire That could burn my armor I've been a twig A seedling That you'll not break so easily When I'm small A little ghost Underground my roots are grown You used to tread on my flowers Now sit under the shade of me Always anchored in this soil I plunge my legs into the ground My head turned to the sky I need , I live for sunlight An ancient stream Reflecting me The sky is over my feet I never thought so easily A shade could turn my reality I'm just a seed A little seed But I'll become a Banyan tree I'll disappear I'm nothing I will survive under your skin I become a little higher Every time I'm reborn When I die there's no fire That could burn my armor I've been a twig A seedling That you'll not break so easily When I'm small A little ghost Underground my roots are grown You used to tread on my flowers Now sit under the shade of me Grow Let your body flow Slow Time is just a stumbling block
