Tree - Gungor

Did the tree of life divorce its body?

Seek to save its soul but hate the bark?

Long for freedom from its branches?

Despise the roots that plumb the dark?

Are trees ashamed for needing sunlight?

Hate themselves for being what they are?

Why does man despise the body?

Are we just afraid of death?

Or maybe we’re searching

And growing and knowing

Separating good from bad

Or maybe we’re just tired of hurting

Afraid of losing what we have

Did the tree of life divorce its body?

Seek to save its soul but hate the bark?

What is life without a body

What is love without the pain

So may we keep searching

And growing and knowing

Seeing both the good and bad

And maybe we could ease the suffering

Unattached to what we have

A man can learn to love his body

Without his soul being undone

You are spirit, soul and body

Beneath it all

The all is one
