LYRICS

As I wandered into the wood
I had felt his gaze for long
I try to stay strong
I ran all night
hoping he would lose sight

Mother earth would you save me
take me back to the
mother earth would you save me
change me into a tree

As I felt a bark shell
breaking me out of the spell
but I couldn’t yet tell
grounded into her coat
rooted and strong what a great antidote

Mother earth you saved me
took me back to the
mother earth you saved me
changed me into a tree
changed me into a tree
changed me into a tree
changed me into a tree

I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
I am strong
