Picture yourself in the shade of a tree
Alone in your thoughts but you're held by the breeze
With sand on your fingers and dirt in your hands
As you try your best to understandDon'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 stillWhere could it?
Under the treeYou 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
Under the tree, yeahIt might take a minute
It might fly away
You might have to come back
On some other dayBut sooner or later
An answer will come
If you stay for a minute and seeThe solitude nightmare
That once made you run
Is off in the distance
Can't hurt anyoneAnd maybe there's something
To learn in the calm of the seaWhere could it?
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 fearsUnder the tree, yeah
Under the tree, yeahUnder the tree, yeah
Under the tree, yeah
