Under The Tree

The Jelly Jam

Picture yourself 
In the shade of a tree. 
Alone in your thoughts 
But your held by the breeze. 
With sand in your fingers 
And dirt in your hands 
As you try your best 
to understand. 
Don't look at you 
And don't look at me. 
Don't hold on to 
What you think sets you free. 
Just sit at the end of the road 
And begin to be still. 

Where could it be? 
Under the tree 

You look for a thread 
Of what's true in the wind 
As it passes and then disappears. 
And you're left there standing 
To finally face all your fears. 

Under the tree... yeah 
It might take a minute. 
It might fly away. 
You might have to come back 
On some other day. 
But sooner or later 
An answer will come 
If you stay for a minute and see. 
The solitude nightmare 
That once made you run 
Is off in the distance... 
Can't hurt anyone. 
And maybe there's something 
To learn in the calm of the sea.
