The Fox Lyrics
Whenever she's weary, she climbs uphill
And crosses a dark trail and there she finds the fox
In the wooden glade
She lies by a rock and she's red
She smells of violets and picea
She flicks her ears as I whisper
I've grown a handsome tall tree, mother
And I want to bear a fruit for you
And I've carried your fears and your hopes, father
It's so heavy on my back, oh you should know
Catch some sleep
I want to find the eagle's nest
Oh take me with you, (Oh oh...)
And I've been waiting a lifetime for this
And I'm ready, (Oh oh...)
It doesn't leave me, I've been up all night
They call me crazy, (Ooh ooh...)
But I want to see what the sky looks like
From your view, (Oh oh...)
But I saw your face carved in clay
And I saw (she saw) it outlined against
A purple sky, it goes loud and deep, beneath
Loud and deep,
My home is on that cliff
I want to find the eagle's nest
Oh take me with you, (Oh oh...)
I've been waiting a lifetime for this
And I'm ready, (Oh oh...)
Whenever I wonder what I wanted all my life,
They never knew me, (No oh oh, no oh oh)
I want to see what the sky looks like
From your view, (Oh oh...)
I've grown a handsome tall tree, mother
And I want to bear a fruit for you
And I've carried your fears and your hopes, father
I'll conquer them for me and you
I've grown a handsome tall tree, mother
And I want to bear a fruit for you
And I've carried your fears and your hopes, father
I will conquer them for me and you
And crosses a dark trail and there she finds the fox
In the wooden glade
She lies by a rock and she's red
She smells of violets and picea
She flicks her ears as I whisper
And I want to bear a fruit for you
And I've carried your fears and your hopes, father
It's so heavy on my back, oh you should know
Catch some sleep
Oh take me with you, (Oh oh...)
And I've been waiting a lifetime for this
And I'm ready, (Oh oh...)
It doesn't leave me, I've been up all night
They call me crazy, (Ooh ooh...)
But I want to see what the sky looks like
From your view, (Oh oh...)
And I saw (she saw) it outlined against
A purple sky, it goes loud and deep, beneath
Loud and deep,
My home is on that cliff
Oh take me with you, (Oh oh...)
I've been waiting a lifetime for this
And I'm ready, (Oh oh...)
Whenever I wonder what I wanted all my life,
They never knew me, (No oh oh, no oh oh)
I want to see what the sky looks like
From your view, (Oh oh...)
And I want to bear a fruit for you
And I've carried your fears and your hopes, father
I'll conquer them for me and you
I've grown a handsome tall tree, mother
And I want to bear a fruit for you
And I've carried your fears and your hopes, father
I will conquer them for me and you

An open letter to parents.
Reminds me a little of my own situation. Growing away from my single mother and doing my own thing. She fears and has many hopes for me and I am striving to be who I am, and succeeding in my life, although my goals may differ from what she believe they should be.
"I've grown a handsome tall tree, mother And I want to bear a fruit for you" - looking to strive in your life and give your mom a gift in return for her being there your entire life "And I've carried your fears and your hopes, father I'll conquer them for me and you" - dad has fears and hopes for you but it's okay. I will conquer them and you'll see, father, no need to worry about me.
