Seethe tree, how big it's grown But friend it hasn't been too long It wasn't big I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it Was just a twig Then the first snow came and she ran out To brush the snow away So it wouldn't die Came runnin' in all excited Slipped and almost hurt herself And I laughed till I cried She was always young at heart Kinda dumb and kinda smart And Carryon, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them Oh you're wasting my time. You're just, just, just wasting time. Something happens and I'm head over heels. I never find out 'til I'm head over heels. Something happens and I'm head over heels. Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart. Don't, don't, don't throw it away. Throw it away. Throw it away. Theres a darkness upon you that's flooded in light. And in the fine print they tell you what's wrong and what's right. And it flies by day and it flies by night. And I'm frightened by those who don't see it. There was a dream and one day I could see it. Like a bird in a cage I broke in. .
