John Zdrojeski - Evergreen Lyrics

Venture west they said
There's a forest out there
Far away
The elements can batter
At her threshold
But she grows on
Just the same
So much life inside her
It'd take a lifetime to survey
No apostate to my nature
I have wandered here alone
With an inkling for my compass
And no string attached to guide me safely home
And I'm no expert on what
Grows beneath your shade
Only journeyed far
In the hope you'd let me stay
I want to wander
Through your woods awhile
I want to know
The size and shape of every leaf
I want to drink the rain that falls
From your trees on high
I want to know if you are
What you look to be
Beautiful, but above all else
You seem
Evergreen
And I'll keep quiet here
Observe your mystery
And walk the winding paths
With no knowing
Where they lead
And maybe they'll just
Spit me out
And I'll be doomed
To wander more
But what a shame that'd be
There's much here to adore
I want to wander
Through your woods awhile
I want to know
The size and shape of every leaf
I want to drink the rain that falls
From your trees on high
I want to know if you are
What you look to be
Beautiful, but above all else
You seem
Evergreen
Evergreen don't need
Your lumber for my bed
I'll take my rest
Up in your branches in the air
And let the evening breeze
Be comfort and my cover
And quietly I'll
Mindfully I'll
Peacefully I'll
Mind the fruit you bear
Don't want to own
The land you grow upon
Don't want to carve my name
In hearts on all your trees
Just don't expel me
'Til I see the dawn
And the way
The sunlight break your canopy
Cause I don't know
But I think you are
Cause you sure look
This way to me
Oh I tell you
I tell you
You're evergreen
Evergreen
