lyrics

If I were a cedar I'd give you all I needed
When I lay myself to rest
Drink up my wisdom and soak up my love
And I know, you'll use it for the best

If I were a pine I'd grow straight up the sky
I'd be shade in the summer
And comfort in the fall

And if I were an oak tree
I'd spread my arms widely
I'd be a grand gesture in your eyes

But I'm bare to the bone
I'm looking for a home
So dig me up, leave me in tact
And a little bit of rain

I've seen fires rage
Come straight through my memory pages
Thought they'd last forever
But you know what they say about forever

Growth and generation take some time
So please be patient
Wildflowers need some space to grow

And if we can't start over
Then what's the use in getting older
What's the use in making love
What's the use in giving it all up

But I'm bare to the bone
I'm looking for a home
So dig me up, leave me in tact
And a little bit of rain

Sometimes I'm the fire
Sometimes I'm the rain
Sometimes I'm the sun
Others I don't know which one

But always and forever
Find a way to storm the weather
Find a way to ask for what I need
Even when I'm just a seed

But I'm bare to the bone
I'm looking for a home
So dig me up, leave me in tact
And a little bit of rain
