Resplendent sunlight
Shine through my leaves
Let me once again feel your comfort

Hold me in your warm embrace
Caresses my branches with a breeze
So I can dance like other trees

Grant me solace
Hold me in your sunkissed arms
Let me live like the other trees

I miss your radiant glow
The way you shimmer with beauty
Why don't I see you anymore?

Other trees get your light
And they even get your love
Why don't I get your sweet sunshine from above?

I know I don't deserve it
But I do deserve to grow
Rather than rot in this forsaken grove

Other trees are happy
Other trees are strong
Why can't I be like them?

I want what they have
Yes, that's true
But what is a dying tree supposed to do?

I am lost without you
Oh glorious dawn
Why can't you stay with me and make me happy and warm?

I know I am lost
Beneath the blackness and frost
But let me smile again

Let the sky cry tears of joy
Knowing it will see me once more
So that I might live another day

let your sun shine through my leaves
Even just one last time
So that in death, I will be at peace
