Sycamore Sign (lyrics)
I walk to the woods dow the street
Tell you what I see
A big eye on a tree
And a wooden sign that reads
“You are not lost,
You are always here,
No matter what the cost
It’s not worth the fear.”
–
And I took that sign down
And I carried it around
To remind myself I’m here
And no matter what the cost
It’s not worth the fear.
–
So I walked a mile line
Holding tight to that sign
And I couldn’t believe my eyes
When it became feather light.
And then it disappeared
Into the unknown
And I turned to my past
To see if it went home.
–
And it was back on that tree
And that big eye winked at me
And that tree whispered “Dear”
“You don’t need a sign to know you’re here.”
–
So it’s going to stay
And I will part my way
From that ol’ Sycamore and that sign.
‘Cos it’s written on my heart
And I don’t need no words on wooden bark
To tell me I’m here, and okay.
And now I have no fear
Even though one day is one day nearer
To death, but its not.
‘Cos you’ll always be here
Even after the grave when you disappear
‘Cos were just little bodies with big souls.
And I think that’s what that sycamore wanted told.
