When the pressures of life heat up,
And you wonder how much you can take
When the winds of blame howl
And the lighting of contempt strikes
When the cold smog of apathy chokes
And the storms of disrespect shake you to your core
Even when careless words beat you up and tear you down
Stand firm and do not lose heart
Send your roots deep and do not fear
Drink deeply of Living Water
And bring forth your strength without fail
Be the tree, my son
Deeply rooted through the wind and the rain
Through the sun and the drought
Be the tree, deeply rooted
