Wild fig tree
Roots so deep
Breaking through the boundaries of never ending depths
How still you burrow, further and further
The tree will ever stand so firm
I planted my heart like a seed in the ground
My offering unto you
It hath flourished into an ever-standing tree
With roots that travel forever
You water it with abundant love
The sun hath been generous with its shine
The moon hath guarded it my night
The rain-washed its eternal green leaves to a luster
The roots are so deep
Breaking through rocks
And smashing the worms that get in the way
Our love will last forever
Like a wild fig tree
With roots so deep
Travelling to infinity
The tree stands ever so firm
Like a wild fig tree
