lyrics

I gave a name to This Tree
and now she protects me.

Shields me with her branches
and hugs me if I need one
she tells all of It's animal friends
I'm a safe one
I'd never hurt anyone

when He chases me I run to her
and he gets lost
and dies trying to find me
It's the magic of my sisters, says the Tree to me
you're safe here
we love you
we want you to be free
like we are

She knows just what I need
when I see her
she knows just how long to wait
for me

She prepares me a soft bed
with a glass of honey tea
and she tells me stories
and cradles me in my sleep

She told me once
she has many names
of many a child of old
all were hurt where her roots could feel
they were like me
so alone and cold
she says she wish all children had a tree or two
it's a pity their humans can't
learn to love them true

I gave a name to This Tree
and now she protects me.
