Standing here
The old man said to me
"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree"
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now, progress takes away
What forever took to find
And now, he's falling hard
And feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree
Conquered fear to climb
The moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed
Promised him she'd be his
Remembered Mother's words
There beneath the tree
"No matter what the world
You'll always be my baby"
Mommy, come quick
The dreaming tree has died
The air is growing thick
A fear he cannot hide
The dreaming tree has died
