lyrics

Hello, my friend
We have captured the plight of the man
Created a world that is finer than dreams
And the trees shake and the leaves fall down

My sins are gum that is stuck on the base of my sole
I'm praying for rain
And rain it shall come
Water the earth and bring trees from the ground

Do do do
Have a little patience with me
Do do do
I was never perfect
Do do do
I am gonna try this for you

I'd memorize every word that you said if I could
Believe me I'm lost
Lost in the woods
Of your words but somehow I feel I am home

I'm satisfied
But if it was a world I could live in your eyes
I'm only a step away from the climb
To the top a tree to jump
See if I can fly

Do do do
Have a little patience with me
Do do do
I was never perfect
Do do do
I am gonna try this for you

I look around
I see we've planted a tree in the ground
Slowly it grows
So high and so tall
More than either of us could ever have thought

Do do do
Have a little patience with me
Do do do
I was never perfect
Do do do
I am gonna try this for you
