Lyrics:
[Verse 1:]
In the city where the shadows reign,
A single tree resists the freezing chain—
Roots deep in silence, branches reach for light,
Defying walls built to smother sight.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Edicts echo through the quiet square—
“Speak nothing true—don’t even dare.”
Yet every leaflet, every word concealed
Hides dreams of freedom, the ache to be revealed.

[Chorus:]
O, tree of hope and warning, under banners torn,
Bearing fruits of knowledge, of courage newly born.
Between the grip of tyrants and the whisper of the free,
You stand as silent witness—will we choose to see?

[Verse 2:]
From forbidden books to a daring shout,
The hunger rises—truth must break out.
A spark of question, a glance that says “I know,”
A thousand roots refusing to let go.

[Bridge:]
We wandered through the iron gates, denied a voice—
But somewhere, even in the hush, rebellion is a choice.
Dreams cannot be banished, no decree erases thought,
The tree remembers freedom—what can’t be sold or bought.

[Chorus:]
O, tree of hope and warning, where danger tastes so sweet,
With every act of courage, defiance feels complete.
Under censorship’s shadow, through every silenced song,
You remind us of the birthright to speak what’s right—
Or wrong.
