The tree bends, stresses and breaks
Growing weary from the weight
Ice is pulling it toward the ground
With strength it fights - standing down
The pressure grows - the light is dim
Eventually falls, a single limb
This tree still stands, but weaker now
Refusing to break it stands... somehow
Unwilling to give up or ask for help
This tree is fighting, through strength in self
The tree is strong, but it cannot last
Bending and breaking - strength fades fast
Bending and breaking it begins to fall
The tree gives up pride, which stood so tall
The Son comes out, and shines from above
Melting the ice with the warmth of love
