Cottonwood

You are the cottonwood tree
Started off small at the edge of a century
Through your veins, down into the earth
Fed on water and sun
Your flowers will bloom
'Neath the crescent moon

You are the willow tree
Started off small at the edge of a century
Felt your fingers down into the earth
Fed on water and sun
Your boughs will bend
To kiss the river's edge

You are the tamarack tree
Started off small at the edge of a century
Sent your love down into the earth
Fed on water and sun
When you shed your skin (ooh)
It's winter again

You are the wild oak tree
Started off small at the edge of a century
Dug your toes down into the earth
Fed on water and sun
You will take your stand (ooh)
Watch o'er this land

You are the giant elm tree
Started off small at the edge of a century
Stood your feet on top of the earth
Fed on water and sun
When you drop your seed
Another tree to feed
