Surrounded by others, he waits by himself
Feeding on failures that already fell
While out in the forest but well within reach
Different timbre, similar each
At least one bigger issue
A thousand greater needs
At least one way that he could help
But he has to grow himself
He’s sure that it’s more of the same old game
You work hard and diligent
But only grow when it rains
Forever and ever, ‘til one day it’s done
Sleeping in shadows, secondhand sun
And herein lies the issue
In trying to grow strong and tall
There’s just one shot at the sun
If she ever chooses to shine at all
Cause he has to stand when the wind blows
And hold himself upright
Has to carry on growing
It’s shade or be shadowed, no less
