Lyrics to Oak Tree

Have you ever wondered why an oak tree
pretty much stands alone?
And although it's strong and mighty
the other trees have gone

Well let me tell you a little story
that might help you to better understand
why this big and mighty oak tree
must alone, forever stand

Now, when it was just a sapling
there were lots of trees around
planting its roots down firmly
deep within the ground
that it grew so fast and hardy
and it spread its branches wide
taking all the sunshine for miles around
that the other trees had died

Well, you're much like that oak tree
yes you're very strong
but strength just isn't everything
so I'll tell you what went wrong

You spread your branches widely
and you took away my sun
and if you're not real careful man
you too will stand alone

Well, you're much like that oak tree
yes you're very strong
but strength just isn't everything
and that's why our love went wrong

You spread your branches widely
and you took away my sun
and that's why our love has died
now you too will stand alone

If you spread your branches widely
and you take up all the sun
If you have to be an oak tree
you might just end up alone
