The Sapling

Gonna lay down in the grass and Watch that acorn split in two Slowly take root While the clock upon the wall makes idle boasts And the mind's out cruising silent coasts Though the ghosts of better days might twist my eyes Gonna stand my ground Watch that sapling rise Just as long as I've the strength Well, I'll raise that flag Like a wisp of cloud from a mountain crag Now, this is awkward I kept it bottled up too long Years like tiny drops of rain on a glassy lake Leaving nought but circles in their wake Though we barely comprehend what the question is Only know for certain, the answer's yes Now this is awkward Really don't know where to begin I kept it bottled up too long (I know that feeling too, yeah) Don't ask me where the time has gone (I know that feeling too, yeah) Days I can't tell no right from wrong (I know that feeling too, yeah) I kept it bottled up too long (Know that feeling, know that feeling) Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it (Like sunlight breaking through, yeah) Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it (I know that feeling too) Gonna lay down in the grass and Watch that acorn split in two Slowly take root (Take root)
