Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Seedpod in the wind

Where do I begin?

I'm looking for a place that I can

Land among the trees

Whose shade I grow beneath

I'm picturing a world made for me

[PreChorus]

If I don't make time for it

It will never happen

If I don't make time for it

It will never happen

[Verse 2]

A tree falls in the forest

Of my inner life

It doesn't make a sound

Does anybody care?

[Chorus]

I'm busy planting trees

Whose shade I'll never see

I'm picturing a world without me

Busy planting trees

Whose shade I'll never see

I'm picturing a world without me

[Refrain]

Questioning my own self-worth

I tried that, but it only hurts

It never got me anywhere

[PreChorus]

If I don't make time for it

It will never happen

If I don't make time for it

It will never happen

[Chorus]

I'm busy planting trees

Whose shade I'll never see

I'm picturing a world without me

Busy planting trees

Whose shade I'll never see

I'm picturing a world without me
