I think the best way to interpret this is as a dialogue between the singer and God. He is saying "I know where you stand, silent in the trees". He then says he is also there. Then the writer asks, "Why won't you speak?", obviously looking to hear an answer from God, and many of us know sometimes it is hard to hear God.
He says he can feel God: "I can feel your breath"
"I want to know you, I want to see" is pretty obvious.
Then ultimately, he just wants to say hello. Just wants to see God.
I don't think God is being compared to trees or anything, but just that trees are a part of his creation and is the example the writers used in this song. I love this song and really speaks to me, as I have struggled throughout my life to hear God's voice when I need it most.
