Hello, darling, why you hiding There inside your skin Shrinking in your sweater Like some kind of guilty kid Someone called you wonderful For making yourself small Truth is you were born to stand A thousand feet tall You are a redwood tree Quietly holding the moon And the yellow stars in your arms This is who you are The soul of the forest Branches reaching to the sun Your roots are digging deep Spend a lifetime handing out What everybody needs Are you missing something From your selfless point of view All the love you give us wants to Give itself to you You are a redwood tree Quietly holding the moon And the yellow stars in your arms This is who you are The soul of the forest I will be a mirror I will be a lake Smiling up at you 'Til you see your own face How I see you now What a giant you are A canopy covering our hearts I will be a mirror I will be a lake Smiling up at you 'Til you see your own face How I see you now What a giant you are A canopy covering our hearts I will be a mirror I will be a lake Smiling up at you 'Til you see your own face How I see you now What a giant you are A canopy covering all our hearts You are a redwood tree Quietly holding the moon And the yellow stars in your arms This is who you are Who you are The soul of the forest
