Great Things Take Time – Ed Cash – letras

The old man saw the fallen treeAs far more than just dead woodFor love, time and his old sharp knifeCould change that tree to something goodSo each piece of bark he stripped awayUsing only his weathered handsTo find the scent of sweet sticky pineJust the wood for this master’s planSoon free from bark this naked treeCried out for his new designBut the patience of the old manReminded him that great things take timeSo he had a vision in his mind of what he wanted that tree to beAnd he saw that tree as perfect and goodBefore he touched a single pieceSo he took the tree back to his homeAnd he set it on his working stoneAnd he began to chip away, chip awayAnd soon he did not feel so all aloneThe tree began to take shapeOh, his heart began to smileBut he knew he still had work to doBecause he remembered thatGreat things take timeSome pieces of the wood were stubbornSome just cut as easy as the airBut he didn’t care how long it tookTo make each part completeYeah, the time he took just showedHow much he cared,How much he caredNow perhaps in your fearful forestYou’ve found that you have fallen downDon’t be sad, don’t be scared,No, do not be afraidBecause there is one who can pick you upOff the groundYou see if your destiny is to be carvedInto a perfect thingThen life does not begin until you die toThe way your living (repeat)
