I was born years ago,
and I can't say its been a bed of roses,
things aren't always the way they appear,
so I'm telling you right here,
although I may seem strong,
although I may seem independent,
as long as I ain't moving, I just want you to know
I'm a weeping willow
(willow willow weeping willow)
I'm a weeping willow
(willow willow weeping willow)
crying all the day long,
sighing all the night long,
dying each day from the pain that I have not swept away,
I'm a weeping willow
(willow willow weeping willow)
now I made it this far thanks to my Heavenly Father and his word,
and the fact his Son died for you and me,
and the Holy Spirit sent to comfort
I remain the weeping willow
(willow willow weeping willow)
crying all the day long,
sighing all night long,
dying a little everyday,
I'm a weeping willow,
I'm a weeping willow
