Song Description
Bonsai trees are normal trees whose growth is limited, so they become miniature trees. If you think of it, it's quite cruel what we do to these trees, in the name of art.
This song is about a bonsai tree hoping to rise above his very limiting condition. There is also a subtle analogy to the human condition.

Lyrics
Close your eyes
It's my lullaby
That I'll sing to you tonight
They cut my branches to keep me small
I live in a tiny pot
And they peel my skin off to make me look old
Don't they know that I am still a child?
Don't they know that I hurt inside?
All I have is my bonsai dream
That I go to sleep with every night
They starve me cause they want me weak
My roots cannot go deep
I long for the ground, for feeling my mother's heartbeat
I'm a prisoner, yet they call it art
They keep me chained, but in my heart...
I keep my bonsai dream
That I go to sleep with every single night
Someday I'll be
What I was meant to be
A beautiful big tree, born to be free
Open your eyes
It's your lullaby
That I sang to you tonight
