I've crawled, hands and knees, through brush and brambles
I've scaled the rocks of the vast barren hills
The thorns of the desert, such a pain to handle
I've cut up the oaks that have lost their wills
Prospering fickly through insecure seasons
Running from strife when the skies are no good
But you, you're evergreen, and standing right beside me
Through the good days and the cold, quiet night
Yeah you, you're evergreen, til the mountain it crumbles you'll be
You'll be up there reaching for the light
But you're already shining so bright
I've lost love to snakes and to lions and to other climbers
Sometimes the path went to places they won't
Some I chased down the hill then I pushed on higher
Cause up past that tree line's a loving home
With you, you're evergreen, and standing right beside me
Through the, the good days and the cold quiet night
Yeah you, you're evergreen, till the mountain it crumbles you'll be
You'll be up there reaching for the light
But you're already shining so bright
I'll sit in your shelter, your arms are my eaves
I'll nourish your body and play in your leaves
I can't stop the fires, but I'll plant our seeds
And we'll build our home in the shade of this tree
I'll sit in your shelter, your arms are my eaves
I'll nourish your body and play in your leaves
I can't stop the fires, but I'll plant our seeds
And we'll build our home in the shade of this tree
You're evergreen, and standing right beside me
Through the good days and the cold, quiet night
Yeah you, you're Evergreen, til the mountain it crumbles
You'll be, you'll be up there reaching for the light
But you're already shining so bright
You're evergreen
You're evergreen
You're evergreen
