Together Strong

Two folks, living together
He’s an oak and she’s a cedar
Over time they’ve intertwined
She tries to choke him out and now he needs her

They need sun, they need rain
And each other’s help to gain
The strength enough to bend or else they break
They need room enough to grow
And the courage to get too close
Alone they won’t last long but together strong

Deep roots below the surface
It’s the only way they can survive
Without the roots the branches are worthless
She shoulda killed him now she keeps him alive

They need sun, they need rain
And each other’s help to gain
The strength enough to bend or else they break
They need room enough to grow
And the courage to get too close
Alone they won’t last long but together strong

Just like those two trees out in my front yard
How did they get this far
Thriving in spite of each other
Instead of growing apart

They had sun, they had rain
And each other’s help to gain
The strength enough to bend or else they break
They had room enough to grow
And the courage to get too close
Alone they won’t last long but together strong
