That single tree I see so far away
So tall and proud
You'd think nothing could cut it down
That single tree I see so far away
All bent and withered
From what the world delivered
In time things come and go
this single tree so far away
Will be a stump
sad and lonely
it lost everything it had
Soon it will rot and crack
but forever that single tree I saw so far away
Will stay in my memory
