about

Tree Of Life is the first single from the forthcoming album 11:44 by eCsiLe.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Imagine if you never had a chance to breathe, crawl, walk, or just run free,
To swing while talking to someone you love while brushed by a cool breeze,
How many things would you miss that bring you joy every time that you reminisce,
How many lives you’ve touched would be robbed of the opportunity to love you,
To hug you, to share in a moment of peace or be the only one who knows what you need,
What if a life you saved wasn’t spared because you weren’t given the chance to be there,
To be fair I guess if someone stole your chance to live you wouldn’t know you weren’t there so if the gift of life is robbed early enough you never had a chance to care.

(Chorus)
When you plant a seed that will grow into a tree, you can’t see the full beauty until it blooms and it truly shows you who it’s supposed to be, but it’s a gift that couldn’t reach its full potential without the chance to sprout but from inside looking out it always was (it always was) what it will someday be.

(Verse 2)
Imagine trying to reconcile any purpose that you feel your life has with the idea that your whole existence was really only a matter of chance, how does it mean anything if until the moment you began to breathe the air your value literally was dependent upon what someone else thinks,
Someone who never met you, who didn’t give you the opportunity to live due to what seemed right at the time justifying the choice to deny you your life,
Sparing themselves any pain or strife, and instead forcing you to sacrifice everything for them so that they can buy the allusion of a meaningful life.

(Verse 3)
I hear voices trying to plead for the lives of wild beasts, telling us it’s not our right to destroy something on which we need to feed,
for survival, declaring
immorality over the death penalty, for those who’ve chosen to steal the rights of others, committing atrocities,
but it’s odd to me the rationale that leads one to believe somehow that a life misused should be protected, but an innocent one can be rejected,
based solely on convenience as if we get to choose who is needed, & dispose of those we deem to pose a threat to things that we think we’re owed.
