Hackberry Tree
by Rusty Shipp

Album: Hold Fast To Hope

Verse 1
You will find me by the hackberry tree
Sorting through my top priority
I traded your soul in for a feeling
'Cause spirit's weak but flesh is willing

Why do two lumps of flesh
Make me feel like this?
I used to not give a flip
And it felt like bliss
Chains me down
To the world
Hides the child in you
Keeps me from the ideal forms
And the child in me too

Verse 2
In my dream I saw a girl there smiling
I forgot she was so pretty
I wonder if things could have gone differently
But life was too good to care about such things
Your armpit turns me on
It's an all-time low
Don't let it cover up your soul

Chorus
You'll find me by the hackberry tree
Watching things unseen
It's moving like a mustard seed
Piercing through the concrete

Verse 3
If we want to be like the angels
We must become like a child
We must live like the ones
Who are living in Heaven
Before we can enter in the kingdom
We could bring Heaven down
Like it's just begun
Makes me pray
So long I miss communion

Chorus
You'll find me by the hackberry tree
Watching things unseen
It's moving like a mustard seed
Piercing through the concrete
