lyrics

I met an olive tree
In the garden
Of gethsemane

And its roots have held on
To the rock
For centuries

And if the ground shifts
I’ll surely fall
But look at those swifts
They’re not even trying
And look at them flying

They’re spending their winters on the moon.
I wish they’d return and I hope
They’ll return soon

All will be okay
We’re not meant to stay
Was not made that way

I love you
And I love our son
And the kids he might have one day

I think of the olive tree
And I pray
It might never cease to be

I take tender care
Of the family tree
