The Sycamore Tree Lyrics - Paul Brandt

(Paul Brandt/Steve Rosen) 

In the sticks down an old dirt road near a small Kentucky town 

When his daddy would come home 

Out past the old red barn in sycamore tree 

Is where little Zach would go 

And high above the guilt and pain 

The only place that he was safe 

Was high above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree 

You could hear a small voice in the wind 

Sayin', "Please don't let him do that to me" 

Prayin' to be born again 

In the sycamore tree

Time went on as it always does, and his daddy's time had come 

How he felt was hard to say 

He often wondered how he'd ever make it through 

But as they buried him that day 

He realized it's not my fault 

And as the leaves began to fall 

From high above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree 

You could hear forgiveness in the wind 

Singin' out, "Find the truth and the truth will set you free" 

Broken chains and a heart on the mend 

'Neath the sycamore tree, oh 

And like an answer to his praying 

As he watched his child playing 

High above in the strong arms of the sycamore tree 

You could hear a small voice in the wind 

Sayin', "Please Daddy won't you come and play with me" 

In the sycamore tree 

The sycamore tree
