about

It is possible to change who you've become. It is impossible to change who you are. And once this discovery takes Root, the Fool buries in ground to allow what has overtaken him to perch; to become, at all odds: The Magician.

Muse Tree
Music and Lyrics by Julean Rai (BMI)
All Rights Reserved.

Verse:
Awakening, I heard the sound.
And it reminded me of things...
It's just like me to wax nostalgic;
This is the reason I create.

Oh, but the summer's almost tragic.
And I feel like someone strange...
It may have started from a seed;
Now something else has taken me.

Chorus:
But you are only to be a tree, yes-
On which the muses come to feed.

Verse:
Going outside to greet the day.
Light on the branches I display...
Bills on the table left unpaid;
It does not pay to be the shade.

Oh, I am notorious for things.
But I refuse the change my mind...
I did not choose to be this way;
I cannot choose to be the same.

Chorus:
But you are only to be a tree, yes-
On which the muses come to feed.

Bridge:
Cannot control the doves of day
Or how they choose to light my world...
I cannot stay the crows of night...
These are the shape of things to come...
We are the instruments of change...
Yet we rely on sun and rain...
No telling what next they might say...
And then, like words, they fly away.

Chorus:
But you are only to be a tree, yes-
On which the muses come to feed.

But you are only to be a tree, yes-
On which the muses come to feed.

But you are only to be a tree, yes-
On which the muses come to feed.

But you are only to be a tree, yes-
On which the muses come to feed...
