I
may look bright
Deep scarlet red
But the colour is blood
Bruised from the head
I may look beautiful
An Autumn delight
But my beauty is death
Hidden out of sight
We once were alive
Budding in the light
Connected by our branch
Who fought our own fight
We once were green
Committed and strong
Holding tight to our Lord
In Him we stayed strong
We once were growing
Together the sky
Though now I am blown
From your own beside
