about

From the album, "Botanical Theophany" (2017).

lyrics

Every leaf upon the tree
If that leaf had eyes to see
From where it sways upon the wind
That leaf could hardly understand
The perspective of another
Leaf whose view is wholly other
So the leaves hang in the breeze
Each one seeing what it sees

So you and I within our stations
Cultures, religions, families, nations
Might find our vision incomplete
In regards to those we meet
But what we need is understanding
What we need is room to be
Conformity is too demanding
You be you and I'll be me

For every leaf upon the tree
Adds to the beauty that we see
As they sway upon the wind
It's much better to be friends
For we're all in this together
And we can ride the stormy weather
One great family branching out
Rooted firmly in the ground

The ground is true humanity
That feeds our lovely family tree
And the storms that roughly blow
They can help us grow also
So every leaf upon the tree
I'll help you and you help me
Accepting one another's hues
Respecting one another's views
