Sunlight Lyrics by Oh Land

Family Tree

2019

[Verse 1]
You are on the run
I'll stay right here
My time is round and yours is linear
A tree is rooted in the ground
Your limbs are loose
Your words are all around

[Pre-Chorus]
Making sure your footprint’s seen
I stay invisible in forest greens

[Chorus]
And you change the world a million times
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight
You only care to win the prize
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight

[Post Chorus]
So I grow (So, I grow)
Leaves unfold (Unfold, so)
While you win gold (So)
And so I grow (I grow)
Leaves unfold (Unfold)
While you win gold (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
Countries build and disappear
But I will shoot through concrete
Clear the air
You will scream and you will shout
I guess that men and nature grew apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Words on words exhaust my ear
This song's contaminated with fear

[Chorus]
And you change the world a million times
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight
You only care to win the prize
I compete for sunlight
I compete for sunlight

[Post Chorus]
So (So)
I grow (I grow)
Leaves unfold (Unfold)
While you win gold
So
I grow (I grow)
Leaves unfold (Unfold)
While you win gold

[Outro]
Mm-mm-hmm
(Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Yeah-eh yeah yeah
Yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Yeah-eh yeah yeah
Yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo
