The Refugee Tree

I stand before the refuge tree
With all my negativity
I stand before the refuge tree
With all my insecurity

Round up the usual suspects
Call out the neutral crew
We're all as guilty as each other
Me and you

Tell me are you lonesome
Tell me do you need someone
Tell me are you lonesome
I begin to stumble
It happens to us all

Your eyes are open like the day
Your face is bright and shining
I know these feelings stand to me
There's nothing needs refining

Your eyes are open anyway
Your face is open like the day
There's no-one here that can explain
The truth I feel about you

What I feel about you
The gift that you are about...

Tell me do you need someone
Tell me are you lonesome
Tell me do you need someone
Tell me are you lonesome
I begin to fumble
It happens to us all

I stand before the refuge tree
With all my sensitivity
I stand before the refuge tree
With all my sense of history

And I stand before the refuge tree
There's one of you and one of me
And one of us is in between
The family is what I mean

The family
And the gift that they give...

Tell me are you lonesome
