Forest Grown - Wilder Greensmith

Описание: [Verse 1]
What I carried, I carried alone,
Pack on my back and a name of my own
Mama was wind and she never stayed long,
So the trees taught the shape of a root and a song

[Verse 2]
Miles on my feet and a map in my head,
Sleeping in hollows the old trees had bred
Every new town was a door left ajar,
Every goodbye just a walk not that far

[Refrain]
What I plant, I tend, what I tend, I mend,
That's what the tall trees would whisper, my friend
They showed me the work that a good heart can do,
How a promise grows tall when you see it all through

[Verse 3]
I learned how to listen to bark and to stone,
How a sapling stands steady when storms make it groan
I learned how to carve out a place I could keep,
Shaving down shallows to something that's deep

[Verse 4]
Some boys had brothers to roughhouse and race,
I had the forest to steady my pace
I had the night with its breath on my skin,
Teaching me courage from outside and in

[Refrain]
What I plant, I tend, what I tend, I mend,
That's what the tall trees would whisper, my friend
They showed me the work that a good heart can do,
How a promise grows tall when you see it all through

[Verse 5]
So I grew up early and carried my share,
Quiet and watchful and built out of care
Seasons keep moving, not slower than then,
Keeping pace steady until rest again

[Verse 6]
And if I fall stumbled, I will not stay downed
I'll keep my place planted where feet meet the ground
A life that won't falter, a will that won't bend,
Then I will know home is where I anchor the wind

[Finale]
When I'm in the beginning, I've just left the end
What I plant, I tend, what I tend, I mend
