Take the leaves off my branches, take the skin from my bones
I don't need them anymore, I'm destined to be alone
Use my bark and use my bite
I don't have any left in me to fight
Take my spring and take my fall
I can't use them after all
You can strip my smile, you can cut my face
Too weak to recover or replace
Lightining strikes me into two
The nest falls down and babies flew
You cannot see what you did to me
You chop me down and make me bleed
I'll build your house and you will know
No one cries for my sorrows
So strip my leaves and take my skin
And as your wish, I'll begin again.
You
