about

"Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong."

~Winston Churchill

lyrics

I can't be created; I can't be destroyed.
I'm the root of hatred; I am tears of joy.
I am lightning; I'm a hole in the sky.
Put your neck to my neck and we'll harmonize.
You sing a C, I'll sing an F, and I'll give you my heart
If you give me your time.

Gone, gone, gone are the days
When I thought that we'd always be loved.
They stole, fought, broke all our trust
And still they find all the ways they can blame us.

But still there's no better feeling than
Being caught between these lines.
A world without ending, another who dares defy
for us to be theirs.
Won't you put your hand in mine?
Won't you put your hand in mine?

Gold, gold --
Easy to bend, measured and sold.
For the warmth of your skin,
Your touch is cold.
But no one can change it,
Your soul is gold, gold, gold.

We are more than what is done to us.
We are surviving the disastrous.
And our hearts crack like seeds in our chest
Needing an opening to grow.
Like solitary trees we are stronger than we know,
so much stronger than we know.

Gold, gold --
Easy to bend, measured and sold.
For the warmth of your skin,
Your touch is cold.
But no one can change it,
Your soul is gold, gold, gold.
