Like Bonsai

Lyrics：Susan Werner/Greg Simon
Music：Susan Werner

The lady at the greenhouse said
That will be seven fifty please
You drove us down the gravel roads
I held it balanced on my knees
You said we'd keep it inside
So the branches wouldn't freeze

And I asked you what would happen
If we just let it grow

And you said some trees are meant to reach
You said
Reach up for the sky
Some trees we trim to keep them pretty
Like bonsai

Winters and then summers and then I was seventeen
We packed up my fall sweaters and all my possibilities
And we cried the day you left me at the university

And it was something I remembered
As I watched you turn and go

That some trees are meant to reach -

And some trees we trim back
Some hands we tie
Some wings we clip
Some feet we bind

Nineteen fourty-eight it was
And you were twelve years old
Dreaming about high school
And you asked if you could go
And your mother said
Even very clever girls
Are better off
At home
