Apple Tree - Nancy Brick

All of my life I've been hunting I've been a girl, I've been a boy Digging my feet into the ground Like an apple tree Wanting to live with a purpose Skin is a word, love is not a sin People are bad, people are good Just like the moon is a stone But it's a star when it's dark And now she's hiding If you've seen what a heart is You've seen its colour If I ever knew how we could guide it I would take care of its children Become their mother If I ever knew how we could hide it Hide it Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Hunger is quiet, if you do it right Hunter is loud and predictable Scaring away every prey So they are gone Before the hunter arrives Would you be kind, and put away your sword You cannot cut away what we got You cannot kill what we are We are not here In physical form You've seen where the knife is Its dark location If I ever knew how we could fight it (Fight it) I would cut into our anger Make pure emotion If I ever knew how we could hide it Hide it Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Can you carry the weight of mortality? The explosions around you are your symphony Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy

When I was small I had an apple seed And my mama told me To dig a little hole and water it well And little by little it grew I was crouching down when I saw a tiny leaf I saw one, I saw two I kept on going like momma said to I saw five leaves, I saw ten When I got to twenty had to count again I was balancing on tiptoe Counting all those little leaves Years went by and I kept on My apple tree grew with water and sun An apple tree tall taller than me Standing proud like a friend should be With leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep Now I'm here under that shade Counting all the red red apples she made My apple tree sings her apple tree song I'll listen and learn and pass it on With leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep All my life I'll have a place to climb A place to read and hide A place to dream and grow Apple tree listen to my woes Tell me your secret I will keep Apple tree I will guard your sleep Apple tree tall, what friends we'll be With leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep When I am grown with a daughter like me Apple tree tall will you give to me One little seed, I promise I'll tell My little girl to water it well

Brick by brick We build a house And then we broke it down Word for word we ment to hurt And then we killed the sound Well it starts with a joke And then it goes up in smoke And leaves us wandering how And no one knows that's all she wrote Well at least for now We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Nothing is ever good enough for ya We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Flames are the layers Nothing here is ever good enough Nothing here is ever good enough for love And brick by brick we build a house In this crazy town And word for word you make love or get hurt I won't back down And it starts with a kiss Did it end up like this Shit I'm running round It goes to show you never will know What life's about what life's about We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Nothing is ever good enough for ya We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Flames are the layers Nothing here Stone by stone we make a home Just to?? maybe for a while Close together and still alone It's quite the life or quite a lie Oh we're building a wall right before our eyes Close together and still alone We're building a fire To warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Cause nothing here is ever good enough for ya We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Flames are the layers Nothing here is ever good enough for ya Building a fire here We warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Nothing here is ever good enough Nothing here is ever good enough for love Nothing here is ever good enough good enough for love
