There’s a fruit tree in the garden
Magnificent beyond belief
It’s golden fruit is bursting
But you just see a single leaf
And there’s a new star in the Heavens
It’s eruption blinds the sky
But what forged this supernova
You fail to ask or wonder why
If I handed you a paintbrush
Would your canvas overflow
With the passion of a starburst
Or would your vision fail to show
And if I handed you the whole world
Would you carve in flesh or stone
Would you people it with new life
Or would you stand there all alone
Open up your mind and release
All those feelings deep inside
There’s no need to live out others’ dreams
There’s no reason left to hide
Go and plant a fruit tree of your own
Tend its roots and watch it grow
Then reap the bounty of its harvest
Make it yours and watch it flow
