Lonely Bamboo

[Verse]
Minku steps out where the sunlight crawls
Morning jungle hums
The wild calls
The trees so tall
They scrape the sky
He whispers to birds as they flutter by

[Chorus]
Why
Oh why
Does the bamboo stay small
When the world around it grows so tall
Lonely bamboo
Do you dream at all
Why
Oh why
Do you hear my call

[Verse 2]
The leaves above paint the ground in green
A tiny clearing where the world turns serene
A bamboo plant
So frail
So still
Minku wonders
Does it lack the will

[Prechorus]
The roots dig deep
But the stalk won’t climb
The jungle waits
It has all the time

[Chorus]
Why
Oh why
Does the bamboo stay small
When the world around it grows so tall
Lonely bamboo
Do you dream at all
Why
Oh why
Do you hear my call

[Bridge]
He kneels and whispers
“Do you need the rain
Or the sun’s warm hand to ease your pain
Little bamboo
The jungle’s yours
Grow with the wind
Let your spirit soar”
