lyrics

Tree Cover
Written and composed by Olivia Flenley ©2005

Hold-holding, hold-holding on, on
You made the choice to be hanging on
Whether it’s wrong or whether it’s right
It’s never easy to walk on by when you’re labelled, lay-labelled wrong, wrong
Into my life it seems just to trouble me and cut so strong

I take a step, I breathe and it all seams clear,
But then I get hit down again,
A hurricane is swirling
Bullets everywhere, a battlefield is closing
And there is nowhere, nowhere to cover

Time, time has flown on by
Two decades on and it’s not so fine
So much life and light and colours all around me
A circle of love and attraction are so close to me
Yet somehow I feel a weight is trapping me and holding me down

I take a step, I breathe and it all seems clear
Then I get hit down again
A hurricane is swirling,
Bullets everywhere,
A battlefield is closing
And I have nowhere, nowhere to cover
Will the peace come, come to me

Or will it return or will it come to be haunting me down
Maybe it’s time, maybe it’s time,
To take control of my life, and

Take a step, breathe and it will clear
And if I get hit down again,
My inner child is singing
No need to fear,
My energy is growing
And I have somewhere, my own tree cover
