Oak from Sunlight by Olga Chung

At the corner of our barn there sits an oak tree
Thirty seven years sits quietly still
There's a cavity in the middle of its trunk
Solitude provision when trouble comes

Secrets to keep she'll do for you
Stories to tell can tell her too
She's the pillar in our home
The hollow one standing with her style

Life is flashing back towards the end of the time
We're losing puzzle pieces meant to gather around
Could it be the sky?
Could it be the ground?
In this chaos we clashed
There is no perfect match
Time is all we have

It has been a long time since I was eighteen
Bold and brave wish I still be
In dark midnight swung the door open
Leaving's never easy from your old love ones

I look to the sky the stars look back
Map in my hand I don't need that
Going to adventures
And grow away further from the shore

But there's always a part in my heart
that grows with the tree
No matter how far I have gone my roots will stay here
When the leaves are shed
Drifting through the wind
When the winter is gone
Sun is shining above
Then it's my time going home

Tears on the ground and wet the soil
I always thought there'll be much more

Gather all your memories and don't let it fade
Hold on to your every moment time never waits
Who am I to love?
Who am I to say?
Ain't got anything to prove
Don't need silver and gold
Just let me have my oak
