about

Inspired by bonsai sensei Chiako Yamamoto

lyrics

A perfect life in miniature
A pot carved from jade
Planted by your grandfather
He never saw my shade

Bonsai

My care’s a careful ritual
I grow into your ways
Afternoons and coffee spoons
A passing of the days

Hours become weeks
Become years, become lives
We are, we are, the sum of our scars
Every bend of every branch

Bonsai

Emperors and astronauts
Will rise and surely fall
With the care of your descendants
I’ll outlive them all
Bonsai

Hours become weeks
Become years, become lives
We are, we are, the sum of our scars
Every bend of every branch

Bonsai
