My Roots Are Strong and Deep

My roots are strong and deep

I'm swaying in your breeze

My limbs stretch out to meet you

You've got me on my knees

I stand tall

My feet are on the ground

But compared to you I'm small

The things you need you just surround

You're wrapped around the earth

You circle it with air

You're trapped inside the core

With hot, hot lava hair

I wish you could sprout

But you can't stick your neck out

I want you climbing up my limbs

But I'm stumped by your whims
