Scenic – A Single Tree

Palouse Scenic

A Single Tree

Across the open wide expanse 
a single tree does strike a stance. 
In its solitary pose

a statement of the self it shows. 
The individual stands alone,

it will never be dethroned. 
For in conviction dwells its strength, 
to carry on at such great length. 
Just be sure to understand

a price is paid to bear this brand. 
The quality of self-reliance

oft requires great defiance.

Go alone who stand as one

and fight until the battle’s done. 
So independents need to be,

to offer hope to the collective sea. 
Across the open wide expanse

a single tree does strike a stance.
