the Ornamental Plum - Live

The tall purple beauty
That lived in the yard
Got sick
And was starting to die
And in a brave act of
Sheer desperation
And programming
Built to survive
Well
The tree bore the fruit
That would fall to the ground
And the seeds that would settle below
They gave hope to the tree
(And to you, and to me)
That the tree
Could continue to grow

Oh
Life leads to more life
Love leads to more love
Hope leads to more hope
The road leads to you!
The road may be winding
The way never certain
But I trust in the journey
For the journey is you!

Now
The tree was a plum of
The ornamental variety
And inside of me
I felt
A deep understanding
Of the tree's situation
(And these awful thoughts
In my head)
For I knew
I was the tree
And the tree
She was me!
And we do what we will to survive
And though I was a child
When I tasted
The fruit of the plum
I was grateful for life

Oh
Life leads to more life
Love leads to more love
Hope leads to more hope
The road leads to you!
The road may be winding
The way never certain
But I trust in the journey
For the journey is you!

Life leads to more life
Love leads to more love
Hope leads to more hope
The road leads to you!
The road may be winding
The weather uncertain
But I trust in the journey
For the journey is you!

I trust in the journey
The journey is you!
I trust in the journey
The journey is you!
I trust in the journey
For it must lead to you
