Gedalya sings a cappella about walking through a park and watching a tree, using its roots and branches as metaphors for memory and aspiration. The song explores why nature can make you cry, and finds comfort in being grounded while reaching high.
Chapters
Walking through the park on a quiet afternoon. Sunlight slipping through the leaves, a gentle tune. Caught a glimpse of branches reaching for the sky. Didn't know the reason why a tree made me cry. Maybe it was memories, just the way it swayed. The sound of the wind, voices of my yesterdays. Roots holding stories, rings telling time. I felt something soften inside, a tree made me cry. Sometimes we're grounded. Sometimes we reach high. Sometimes we remember we don't need to know why. There's beauty in the simple. Truth is in the sky. Sometimes it's healing when a tree makes you cry. Found a little comfort in a patch of shade. Life can be a forest. We're all a little bit afraid, but hope is in the growing. Let your feelings fly and let go of pride when a tree makes you cry. Sometimes we're grounded, sometimes we reach high, sometimes 'Cause we remember, we don't need to know why. There's beauty in the simple. Truth is in the sky. Sometimes it's healing when a tree makes you cry. Sometimes we're grounded. Sometimes we reach high. Sometimes it's healing When a tree makes you cry.
