Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let me be like a simmon tree
Grounded by the earth
Let me be like a cat-paw breeze
Whispered me into birth
[Verse 2]
Let me be like a simmon tree
Grounded by the earth
Let me be like a cat-paw breeze
Whispered me into birth
[Verse 3]
All that talk, you don't walk, can't you listen?
Fall out of line to find out whatcha missing
Gotta get lost to exhaust all the rabbits and chase the change
[Verse 4]
Breaking your back on the slack they gave a blessing
Taking the time in your prime and learn your lesson
I'll let you know when I know
That you know that I'll break free and live again
[Verse 5]
Let me be like a simmon tree
Grounded by the earth
Let me be like a cat-paw breeze
Whispered me into birth
[Verse 6]
Holding a hand while you can, you've got to love 'em
Breaking your heart from the start, you rise above 'em
Taking the train through the rain and the snow
Until you're buried in the ground
[Verse 7]
Taking away all the pay before they earn it
Making them stop, make it pop and get up on it
Don't let 'em cheat on your beat
You gotta own it and break every chain, oh
[Verse 8]
Let me be like a simmon tree
Grounded by the earth
Let me be like a cat-paw breeze
Whispered me into birth
[Verse 9]
Follow the sign, drop your dime and keep on moving
Give 'em your time, but beware of what you're choosing
Don't let 'em stack an attack on your back
You gotta keep 'em on the run
[Verse 10]
Hitting your mark, it's too dark to see the reason
Winter, spring, summer and fall, through every season
Staying alive while you strive to break out
You gotta fly straight into the sun
[Verse 11]
Let me be
Let me be
Let me be
Let me be
[Verse 12]
Let me be like a simmon tree
Grounded by the earth
Oh-oh, let me be like a cat-paw breeze
Whispered me into birth
[Verse 13]
Oh, let me be like a simmon tree
Grounded by the earth
Oh-oh, let me be like a cat-paw breeze
Whispered me into birth
[Verse 14]
Hey, yeah
You gotta let me be
Mmm-mmm
