Tree Of Life

I’m gonna carve my name on the tree of life
It may not mean a thing to the passer-by
Might feel a little sting, with the signature tip of my knife
I’m gonna carve my name on the tree of life

You can walk through this world, and never leave a footprint
And you can keep your mouth shut, afraid to make a difference
Draw initials in the sand, but surely the tide will wash them away
But give your hand to a friend, the message you send is here to stay

I’m gonna carve my name on the tree of life
It may not mean a thing to the passer-by
Might feel a little sting, with the signature tip of my knife
I’m gonna carve my name on the tree of life

No, it may not be much of a legacy
No more than a butterfly wing
But if I touch you, and you touch me
We will not be forgotten

I’m gonna carve my name on the tree of life
It may not mean a thing to the passer-by
Might feel a little sting, with the signature tip of my knife
I’m gonna carve my name on the tree of life
I’m gonna carve my name on the tree of life
