Well, there's a story I would like to tell
But I don't know where to begin
Well, it's pretty on the surface
But it doesn't have an end
Like a tree on fire from within
I called up Mary to see how she's been
She said she's never really had a friend
Sure there's many folks around me
But nobody truly found me
Like a tree on fire from within
And holy Moses
Can ring a bell
Doesn't matter if it's gold or tin
The news inside, it means so much
Even if it turns to dust
Like a tree on fire from within
And violet roses
Give such a scent
And it doesn't matter how long it's been
Even a dead rose is a good rose
You only have to see one to know
Like a tree on fire from within
