lyrics

Courageous Tree
Mike Turnbull

D G D G
Vse 1. You’ve earned the right to survive a vicious lightning strike
Bm G D G
One side perfect & crisp the other with a blackened twist

On a grey & racing stormy day your roots are reaching far away
To the life of a warm lake shore, stretch the toes of a giant dinosaur

A G A G
Pre Ch. Bursting back into life, set your leaves toward the sky

D G
Ch. Throw your arms around the courageous tree
D G
Show your scars you are the courageous tree
Bm G
And you will triple in height when your leaves are in sight
D G
Throw your arms around the courageous tree

Vse 2. Broken & vertically shattered, inwardly bruised & battered
Beauty & courage deserved of love, there’s room on your branches for everyone

Pre Ch. Bursting back into life, set your leaves towards the sky

Ch. Throw your arms around the courageous tree
Show your scars you are the courageous tree
And you will triple in height when your leaves are in sight
Throw your arms around the courageous tree

Inst… Bm, A, G ///

Quiet ch...
Throw your arms around the courageous tree
Show your scars you are the courageous tree
And you will triple in height when your leaves are in sight
Throw your arms around the courageous tree

Outro ch...
Throw your arms around the courageous tree
Show your scars you are the courageous tree
And you will triple in height when your leaves are in sight
Throw your arms around the courageous tree
