Gospel and Country

Everything I am is because of the Lord and I give all the glory to Him. The simple truth is God will take care of you. Take the leap of faith, ask Jesus into your heart, accept His gift of grace, trust and live for Him. Psalm 59:16 "But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble." I am a singer/songwriter playing for the sheer joy of it. I've been finding peace singing at my piano all my life. I'm happy to sing and play for my supper anytime. :)

Lyrics

Monkey Tree

With nowhere she can go
No escape that she can see
She stares up at the ceiling
And imagines a monkey tree

Growing in her room
Bananas on the ground
Now she's waiting for the monkeys to come down

And you may think she's talking crazy
And you may think she's lost her mind
But with no one else to turn to
Sometimes the only thing to do is climb

When the monkeys do appear
To keep her company
They lift her from this place
Of lonely misery

The monkeys play her friends
The only ones she knows
Otherwise she spends her time alone

And you may think she's talking crazy
And you may think she's lost her mind
But with no one else to turn to
Sometimes the only thing to do is climb

When darkness falls, she climbs up in the branches
Praying no one finds her up among the leaves
And when she cries, nobody hears her high up in the tree

No longer just a child
Fearing in the night
Footsteps at her door
Frozen in her fright

A woman now set free
Form the secret shame
That as a child she never could explain

And you may think she's talkin' crazy
Oh, you may think she's lost her mind
But with no one else to turn to
Sometimes the only thing to do is climb
But with no one else to turn to
That's how the monkey tree saved my life
