Our Own Tree

They didn’t want us at church and
They didn’t want us at home, so it
Gave an excuse for you and I to
Set out on our own, but 

I was afraid to
Leave it all behind, so you
Looked at me with those baby blues and you
Told me something kind, Boy

We’ll grow our own tree, you said
We’ll dress it up
We’ll just write our own songs, and
That’ll be enough, oh

Our own tree will
Prove that we can be
Just as happy as anyone
Could ever hope to be, oh

Our own tree grows 
Bigger every day, and it’s the
Only gift I ever want, and they
Can’t take that way, no they can’t take that away

Oh, they banned us from the street, and
They didn’t want us in town
They thought they could get rid of us, by
Tryin’ to hold us down,    

But a seed they didn’t notice started 
To hatch under the snow, and
Now lying by the fireplace we see how
Funny little things can grow

We’ll grow our own tree, you said
We’ll dress it up
We’ll just write our own songs, and
That’ll be enough, oh

Our own tree will
Prove that we can be
Just as happy as anyone
Could ever hope to be, oh

Our own tree grows 
Bigger every day, and it’s the
Only gift I ever want, and they
Can’t take that way, no they can’t take that away

Oh the road from there to here
Got buried under the snow, it’s
Funny to me how not going back lead us
Straight to our new home

They didn’t want us at church
They didn’t want us at home
Babe, welcome to the universe
We’ve built up on our own
