Shaded Sanctuary, oh treasure of trees
Whose leaves used to shield me from filtered light
Slightly less shady than before
Leaving specs of sparks representing new parts from years past
Like lightning all in a flash
Construction: a clip of what's passed
Is my mind playing tricks?
This forest uprooted so quick
Now just a network of sticks
Framed for a stack of bricks
Is my mind playing tricks?
This forest uprooted so quick
Now just a network of sticks
Framed for a stack of bricks
Plant the seed, ignore it and focus on your greed
Chase the sun as it races with the moon
Too occupied to watch the tree bloom
Track the sky, implore it as the stars say you've tried
So fast has time passed in this dusty saloon
Too occupied beneath the tree's plume
Shaded Sanctuary, oh pleasure of ease
Whose ceilings used to shield him from stranger's plight
Slightly less stressed he opens his door
To leave behind the dull parts of his body and mind
While exiting into the lush
It's frightening to us
Just a single brush
To him a sight so sure
He'd be naïve to call it nature
