Audra Mcdonald Come Down From The Tree
Come down from the tree
Just open your arms and trust
You know in your heart
That one of these days you must
Come down from the tree
It's easy to feel afraid
And hard giving up
That safe little nest you've made
When you have something so warm and familiar to cling to
Your arms won't let go
You close your eyes to the dark, press your nose to the bark
And hold on
Yes, I know
But down below is where you must be
And what you were meant to do
So, hold out your hand
And listen to someone who
Was once in a tree like you
Lala-lala-lalala-la
Ooh, ah
Soon, you'll have someone so warm and familiar to cling to
And love 'til you die
When your heart knows what it needs, you must go where it leads
Leave the nest
Learn to fly
And that's why I came down from my tree
And all that I held so dear
When I found my love
The rest of my life was clear
Come down from your tree
Come down
I'm here
