In the Shade of the Healing Tree
Come O weary traveller
Rest a while beneath the tree
The journey has been long
The dark night has now gone
It is almost morning
The sun will surely rise to the new day
You are safe in the shade of the tree
The past is gone and never shall return
Refresh yourself here
Your integrity is still in place
Your manhood was never lost
It was just hiding in the shadows
Waiting to bloom
Others may have lost their way
This is their demon, it is not yours
You are free and always were
Renew your courage and strength
The rest of your life is surely blessed
It has waited patiently for you to arrive
Go plant a tree as a symbol of new life
Others shall surely need shade too
They will need a place to lay their weary heads
To lay their sorrows down
As friends we shall comfort them
To remind them they are not alone and never were
