Much ado is all i see
(although my roots were deep)
in fact it is surrounding me
the seething crowd intrudes all day
(i sank in hillsides deep)
until i'm finally swept away
Although i thought my roots were deep
(the rivers that erode)
i sank them into hillsides steep
and riverbanks that soon erode
(and canyons overflow)
and canyons that have overflowed
