THE TREE

(John Berghammer, Tom Berghammer)

I was small…fighting for the light
Below all…the wind built my might
How blessed can I be?
I’M THE TREE

But I grew…reaching for my best
‘Cause I knew…I’m different from the rest
How blessed can I be?

I’M THE TREE
I’M THE TREE
HOW BLESSED CAN I BE?
I’M THE TREE

Through rains and hurricanes
Withstanding pains
I prayed and swayed
Investment paid
How blessed can I be?

I’M THE TREE
I’M THE TREE
HOW BLESSED CAN I BE?
I’M THE TREE

Axe raised
Trunk blazed
Was dazed
I slammed the ground
Slammed the ground

I’m blood smeared
He’s hammered in me
I lay here
Sin is so heavy

So heavy

I am tall
Holding up the light
Above all
The way, truth and life

I’M THE TREE
I’M THE TREE
HOW BLESSED I CAN BE
I AM THE TREE
GOD BLESSED TREE
HOW BLESSED I CAN BE
I AM THE TREE
