Fruit Tree
Lyrics
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
There's a big symphony
Right before your ears
It's ringing like a hammer
It's beauty will sweep away your fears
Don't close yours ears
And there's a big picture
Right before your eyes
Its vista and its views
Are your bounty and your prize
Don't close your eyes
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
Release all those feelings deep inside
There’s no need to live out others’ dreams
There’s no reason left to hide
Plant a fruit tree of your own
Tend its roots and watch it grow
Reap the bounty of its harvest
Make it yours and watch life flow
There's a big symphony
Right before your ears
It's ringing like a hammer
It's beauty will sweep away your fears
Don't close yours ears
And there's a big picture
Right before your eyes
Its vista and its views
Are your bounty and your prize
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
There’s a fruit tree in the garden
Magnificent beyond belief
