BABY BLOOM
::::be strong in the wind
learn how to bend::::
when you're shaking like a leaf
come sit by me::::
the rain will come
so will the sun::::
learn to love every season::::
you don't have to find a reason
to bloom where you're planted::::
don't take life for granted
'cause God's up above
and we're rooted in love::::
so bloom where you're planted
baby bloom::::
you can tend to feel alone
when you're nowhere near grown::::
it takes a lot of time
to bare fruit like mine::::
it takes years
and then you're here::::
learn to love every season::::
you don't have to find a reason
to bloom where you're planted
don't take life for granted
'cause God's up above
and we're rooted in love::::
so bloom where you're planted
baby bloom::::
you can't fear the fall
when the cold takes it all::::
and the cold takes it all
yeah the cold takes it all::::
'cause here comes the spring
and you know its bound to bring
a little bit of green
a little bit of green::::
learn to love every season::::
you don't have to find a reason
to bloom where you're planted::::
don't take life for granted
'cause God's up above
and we're rooted in love::::
just bloom where you're planted
baby bloom::::
So bloom where you're planted
baby bloom::::
I'm just a tree
stand tall like me:::::

THE OAK TREE
::A mighty wind blew night and day::
::It stole the oak tree's leaves away::
::Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark::
::Until the oak was tired and stark::
::But still the oak tree held its ground::
::While other trees fell all around::
::The weary wind gave up and spoke::
::How can you still be standing Oak?::
::The oak tree said, I know that you::
::Can break each branch of mine in two::
::Carry every leaf away::
::Shake my limbs, and make me sway::
::But I have roots stretched in the earth::
::Growing stronger since my birth::
::You'll never touch them, for you see::
::They are the deepest part of me::
::Until today, I wasn't sure::
::Of just how much I could endure::
::But now I've found, with thanks to you::
::I'm stronger than I ever knew::
