Lyrics

It was a mean place
I guess I was the sad face
Never getting chosen for the winning team

Out on the school yard
Keeping up was so hard
So I'd just count the minutes till it was three

When I finally got home
Every book that I owned
Made its way into my maple tree

And I would read there
Spinning all my dreams there
A slice of heaven that belonged to me

And oh, you?re a lot like me
I hope one day you find a maple tree
Where wishes have the room to fly
A few feet closer to the sky
Oh, we all need a maple tree

No one can save you
From awful things that kids do
You've gotta make it through in your own shoes

And you can fight back
Or you can choose your own track
Either way you're gonna get the blues

And oh, you?re a lot like me
I hope one day you find a maple tree
Where wishes have the room to fly
A few feet closer to the sky
Oh, we all need a maple tree

Way up there you can see for miles
The world is larger for a little while

And oh, you?re a lot like me
I hope one day you?ll find a maple tree

Oh, you?re a lot like me
I hope one day you?ll find a maple tree

Oh, you?re a lot like me
I hope you?ll find the answers in a maple tree

Cute song .Nicely sung.
