Juniper tree Growin' tall comin' right out of a sandstone wall
Didn't take much Just a bit of a crack Put some roots down and never looked back
His trunk is twisted, 'round and 'round, lost a few limbs but he's held his ground
Been sculpted by the wind that howls and blows, clings to the cliff, slowly grows
A survivor in a hostile place, juniper thrives with a touch of grace
He's got his spot upon that stone, forever standing all alone
It's a lonely spot with an incredible view, a maze of canyons, distant mountains too
But the juniper tree, upon that wall, is the most amazing sight of all
Fierce winter storms and summer heat, try to take him down in defeat
But year after year the juniper grows, just needs a little rain or snow
A survivor in a hostile place, juniper thrives with a touch of grace
He's got his spot upon that stone, forever standing all alone
