when i was born they planted and grew this
tree - and they cheered and they cried.
when it grew sick they stole from another
knowing full well i'dpay for it later
ten fold
its all just a story to tell in time
when i was small i started to climb this
tree - and i climbed and climbed.
when i got scared they stole me a ladder
knowing full well i'dpay for it later ten fold.
and they were all there to say my words
and they were all there to make my mind
they gave me all that they said i'd want
cuz its all just a story to tell in time, in time,
...repeat that to yourself, boy.
i don't wanna fly anymore, i don't wanna float
anymore, i don't wanna fall anymore -
i just want to hit the hard, hard ground.
hope i hit every branch on the way down
hope i break every branch on the way down
hope i take this whole damn tree down with me
ill never know if this is just what
you had in mind
but i'm through with fighting every battle
you leave behind
and i'm through with pacifist ways to
which i have been so resigned
cuz this is not just another damn story
to tell in time
and you can preach me my problems...
at least they're all mine
