Come Down from the Tree

Come Down from the Tree - Audra McDonald

Come down from the tree

Just open your arms and trust

You know in your heart

That one of these days you must

Come down from the tree

Its easy to feel afraid

And hard giving up that safe little nest you've made

When you have something so warm and familiar to cling to your arms won't let go

You close your eyes to the darkness your nose to the bark and hold on

Yes i know

But down below

Is where you must be

And what you were meant to do

So hold out your hand

And listen to someone who

Was once in a tree like you

La la la la la la la

Ohhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Soon you'll have someone so warm and familiar to cling to and love til you die

When your heart knows what it needs you must go where it leads

Leave the nest

Learn to fly

And thats why i came down from my tree

And all that i held so dear

When i found my love

The rest of my life was clear

Come down from your tree

Come down

I'm here
