treat yourself like a tree
growing tall by the sea
no such thing as an hour
only pale purple flowers

and you take what you need
merely ask and receive
cause it's easy to be
by the shore, by the sea

and your purpose is this
as you unclench your fists
and you take in the sun
and you grow and become

and you make it all green
like a war torn marine
like a pale, eager child
with a radiant smile

and you hold yourself like a little pile of sand
you unfold yourself, till you're part of the sea and the land

and it's easy to be
by the shore by the sea
where you lay down your arms
put your head on your knees

you can stay for a day
until you feel okay
you can take what you need
till you're ready to leave

and you hold yourself like a little pile of sand
you unfold yourself, till you're part of the sea and the land

and you hold yourself like a little pile of sand
you unfold yourself, till you're part of the sea and the land
till you're part of the sea and the land
till you're part of the sea and the land
