Solitude-Solidarity

Stark against the night, a mighty midnight pine
Friendless and alone, the strongest of his kind
The innocence of youth, betrayed as we grow older
The winter wakes and stretches, as summer nights grow colder

There is beauty in the strength, life within the pain
There is tension in the unity, tears within the rain
Our roots extend beneath the soil of the searching soul
A harsh tune of tenacity desperate to pay the toll
