Song lyrics:

“The Tree Of Life” 
O sweet spirit 
Hear my prayer 
Help these words
Heal someone, out there

I am but a voice 
Just a cry in the air
But I sing nonetheless 
Through this pain we share 
————
O sweet friends 
Come and dry your eyes
And hold each other
By this tree of life

I am angry and I am tired 
Of this great divide
But I sing nonetheless
With love on our side 
————
O sweet souls 
Who feel broken now
We’ll heal together
Somewhere, somehow

Time and again
We have been let down
But we sing nonetheless
Still whole and still proud
