Brilliant Trees

Brilliant Trees

When you come to me

I'll question myself again

Is this grip on life still my own

When every step I take

Leads me so far away

Every thought should bring me closer home

And there you stand

Making my life possible

Raise my hands up to heaven

But only you could know

My whole world stands in front of me

By the look in your eyes

By the look in your eyes

My whole life stretches in front of me

Reaching up like a flower

Leading my life back to the soil

Every plan I've made's

Lost in the scheme of things

Within each lesson lies the price to learn

A reason to believe

Divorces itself from me

Every hope I hold lies in my arms

And there you stand

Making my life possible

Raise my hands up to heaven

But only you could know

My whole world stands in front of me

By the look in your eyes

By the look in your eyes

My whole life stretches in front of me

Reaching up like a flower

Leading my life back to the soil
