Chris Glassfield - Under a Tree Lyrics

Once as a child I sheltered under a tree
A storm had come, I thought it was after me
Just a foolish child
I thought that the world was after me
Frightened of the wild
Feeling like the world was after me

When I grew up I climbed back into the tree
A lover came, I thought she was after me
Such a lovely dream
I thought that the world was just for me
Things aren't what they seem
Feeling like the world was just for me

Thunder, lightning
Very frightening
Makes us want to hide
But the storm brings
Tears and feelings
Hidden deep inside

And now I smile whenever I pass the tree
The storm that came, the lover who wanted me
Just a foolish child
I thought that the world was after me
I don't fear the world
Now I know the wild is inside me

The wild things
