Lyrics
Canopy
As I walk
Listening to the trees
I am tempted
To stop and sometimes believe
They are telling me their secrets
They are sharing their souls
In that soft warm canopy
Of beautiful green leaves
It's my own church
My own place of retreat
I go in silence
Go when I am weak
I'll find the strength within the quiet
Find the peace without the noise
I'll know when I should hang on to things
And when to let them go
Won't you come with me
My canopy
Won't you hold my Hand
Try to understand
Finally
My canopy
When I need to
I can leave it all behind
Block it out
It swallows my mind
I don't need a saint to pray to
Or a building to believe
GOD is all around
In the beautiful green leaves
Won't you come with me
My canopy
Won't you hold my Hand
Try to understand
Finally
My canopy
