lyrics

A country that's summery in fall;
a tree that bends, a road that winds.
A few who weren't sure they'd make it here at all;
a child that knows it takes all kinds.

"Some hearts are red like a dragonfruit.
Some hearts are purple like a grape.
Some hearts are blue like the sky.
My heart is a grape purple heart,
I can feel it inside."

A seed that feeds, a seed that sprouts;
the difference between gift and theft.
To live within, or to live without;
lessons learned and lessons left.

The tree is still a tree, the fence still a fence;
a broken heart is still a heart.
A life imagined is still real.
Sometimes just staying alive's an art,
but I don't know why it hurts to heal.
