We Are the Guests - 6 AM

It's 6AM, the oak grows tired of the willow’s tune
And he sheds a tear, believing there was more
In his younger years
A time when he, as a seed 
He learned to grow to believe
Light up this world cause someday is too far away
 
It's 6AM, the oak grows tired of the willow’s tune
And he sheds a tear, believing there was more
In his younger years
A time when he, as a seed 
He learned to grow to believe
Light up this world cause someday is too far away
 
It's 6AM, the tune of the willow
Echoes in the wind, wind
And my leaves get tired, I'm steady, I'm rooted, but pushed aside
Take on me. Look up, and teach me what you see
Light up this world cause someday is too far away
 
Oh what a shame
That my grandfather will never see
The lesson that he taught me in my life
He always said, never lower your head
Sit up straight, boy and look me in the eye, son
Light up this world was his message to me
Oh and these stories that he taught me about life
He seemed to think that things could be alright
Well it's not great papa, but it's only 6AM
 
The tune of the willow
Echoes in the wind, wind
And my leaves get tired, I'm steady, I'm rooted, But pushed aside
Take on me. Look up, and teach me what you see
Light up this world cause someday is too far away
 
Oh how, the mystery unfolds
How did it come to this
These days used to shine like gold
And he told me, the bridge that we're crossing
If I am comparing, I'm the stones that are rolling 
On, gone, gone, gone like the wind
The time tells me it's 6AM
But the signs that the children are holding
Their reckless mind
And thoughtlessness it's confusing
I speak my mind, and this land is bruising
But I'll comfort you now, because it's
 
6AM, the tune of the willow
Echoes in the wind, wind
And my leaves get tired, I'm steady, I'm rooted, But pushed aside
Take on me. Look up, and teach me what you see
Light up this world cause someday is too far away
