Underneath the Willow Tree (A Song)

Underneath the Willow Tree

Written by Cari Button, Performed By Suno

Before I knew the shape my life would take,
Before you ever opened up your golden eyes.
Somewhere woven into the decade between us,
we were already written side by side.

You grew up reaching for my hand,
I watched you grow beyond my height.
You never stopped looking up to me,
but now I look up to you too.

Getting stronger with every lifetime we live through.
We live millions of lives,
Connected with universal light.
So promise me when this one fades,
we meet under the light of the willow tree.

The branches bend, but never break,
where the roots run deeper and hold our memories.
If I leave before you do, I pinky promise
to wait for you underneath the willow tree.

Maybe next time we will be two sisters,
maybe we will have a different story.
Maybe we will be a pair of squirrels,
making a home between the branches,
hidden in a pile of bark.

Eden, there is room between the branches,
there was always room enough for three.
Our souls intertwined in every lifetime,
bright enough for all to see.

So find me underneath the willow tree,
where the branches bend but never break,
where the roots run deep with our memories.
In every lifetime we will meet
and hug beneath the willow tree.
and hug beneath the willow tree.

Because a willow knows the secret
of surviving every storm:
You do not need to stand unbroken
to become something strong.
You bend beneath the weight of living,
my hands are always here to hold.
We are stronger when together.

And somehow, somewhere,
in every lifetime,
I will find you
underneath the willow tree,
where you become you,
and I become me.
