A humble student, learning each and every day.
Promises of wisdom, in verses so old,

Simple moments, no troubles destroy.
Promises kept, in actions so pure,
A heart full of love, steadfast and sure.

Their wisdom and insight, by my side.

Let the gentle acoustic guitar, playful flute, and heartfelt vocals transport you to a sacred space where wishes bloom and the whispers of wisdom guide your heart.

Lyrics: 
Verse 1
In a forest wide and wondrous, stood a tree so tall and grand,
Its roots dug deep in the earth below, its branches touched the stars’ expanse.
They called it the Magic Tree, a marvel to behold,
With leaves that whispered every tongue, in stories yet untold.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Verse 2
Mira came from distant lands, with a heart weighed down with care,
She longed to speak and understand, but felt lost most everywhere.
She rested ’neath that mighty tree, and it spoke in her own tongue,
“Plant these seeds in every town, let understanding be begun.”

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Verse 3
She took the seeds and traveled on, planting in each place she went,
And from the soil of kindness grew, trees of understanding sent.
But in soils dark with anger’s blight, the fruits were sharp and cold,
Yet love and patience turned them sweet, as wisdom took its hold.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

[Instrumental]

Bridge
Now its branches touch the stars above, its roots are strong and deep,
A bridge between the earth and sky, where hearts and spirits meet.
It teaches us to speak with love, in every word we share,
To find the common ground we seek, with kindness everywhere.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Outro
So let us plant and tend our seeds, in soil rich and pure,
And watch our trees touch the heavens, with love that will endure.
For the Magic Tree stands tall, a guide for you and me,
To speak in words of unity, and live in harmony.

Full of trouble, full of pain.
But with these new eyes I'm seein',
Every loss can be a gain.

Verse 1
When one door closes, heavy with doubt 
I stand in the storm, trying to figure it out 
But there’s a light in the distance, a soft glowing sign
A new road ahead, gonna be mine

Chorus
Oh, the winds may blow, but I’ll hold strong 
Better days are comin’, won’t be long 
From the shadows of worry, hope will rise
A brighter tomorrow, right before my eyes

The waters get rough, but I won’t drown 
I’ve been here before, and I’ve turned it around 
Each fall is a lesson, each step a climb
The rhythm of life, just keeping time

Chorus
Oh, the winds may blow, but I’ll hold strong
Better days are comin’, won’t be long
From the shadows of worry, hope will rise
A brighter tomorrow, right before my eyes

The waters get rough, but I won’t drown 
I’ve been here before, and I’ve turned it around 
Each fall is a lesson, each step a climb
The rhythm of life, just keeping time

Bridge
Oh, I’ve walked through the fire, but I’m still here 
Every scar’s a story, every tear’s clear 
The road may be long, but my spirit won’t fade
I’m stronger now from the choices I’ve made

Chorus
Oh, the winds may blow, but I’ll hold strong
Better days are comin’, won’t be long
From the shadows of worry, hope will rise
A brighter tomorrow, right before my eyes

The door may close, but I’m not done 
A brighter path is just begun 
I’ll keep on walkin’, with hope as my guide
With the winds at my back, and nothing to hide

The door may close, but I’m not done 
A brighter path is just begun 
I’ll keep on walkin’, with hope as my guide
With the winds at my back, and nothing to hide

Wake up greet the day
Light creeps in to stay
Coffee warms the soul
Lost in saxophone's roll

[Verse 2]
Rhythm takes me high
Notes that touch the sky
Sunshine breaking through
Morning starts with a view

[Chorus]
Sax sings through the dawn
Turn the blues all gone
Melodies so bright
Makes everything feel right

[Verse 3]
Echoes in my mind
Leave the worries behind
Morning breeze so cool
Music's gentle rule

[Verse 4]
Different worlds collide
In this morning stride
Every note a gift
Feel the spirits lift

[Chorus]
Sax sings through the dawn
Turn the blues all gone
Melodies so bright
Makes everything feel right
