Why are you hanging out by the tree
Don't be hanging out by the tree

Sister, why you stressing about the things you can't change
Hand it over to God and let Him rearrange
Brother, all that anger in your heart is so strange
The feelings that you keep inside got you acting deranged
I'm trying to tell you the way out, don't be so close to the root
Because when you're near it, it'll latch itself onto you
Keep your heart right, you've got to be on the move
The folks around you only spread the things they know to be true
But we're peculiar with a secret weapon on our side
That's the Holy Spirit with us always down for the ride
Keeping us in God's light, He's the spiritual guide
Guiding us away from all of the enemy's lies

Adam said it wasn't me, I got the fruit from Eve
Eve said no, the serpent went and gave it me 
Serpent said I'll take the blame, it was my territory
But you'll see, why are you hanging out by the tree
Don't be hanging out by the tree

Tree, tree, tree, curse the person on thee
I just bear the fruit but you ain't have to pick it off me
I'm so tempting, but Jesus made it through for 40 days
Don't you know that what you think about will pave your ways
So why play around with me? There's other things to do
Your birth came with a mission, I'm no substitute
It's personal, no guru, preacher, or monk can do it for you
Getting right with God will change you inside, you'll be the proof
You make sure to go to work, but you won't pray for more than five
Seconds more like, because you would feel like a hypocrite inside
I'm just a tree in this song, but in real life, I'm your pride
Greed, worldly wisdom, lust, you superficially thrive

Adam said it wasn't me, I got the fruit from Eve
Eve said no, the serpent went and gave it me 
Serpent said I'll take the blame, it was my territory
But you'll see, why are you hanging out by the tree
Don't be hanging out by the tree

Sin is disobedience, what does the good book say
It's pretty clear on lots of topics, how is there room for change
Apparently, far from the past our God is different today
As long as you say a little prayer you can still do the same
I don't believe that, and neither should you, take up your cross
I'm not saying that is easy, there's a price it'll cost
You can't live your own way, you were purchased by grace
Bloodshed means you got to clean your heart and your head 
But don't you worry, it's made easy, you don't do that alone
That's the Holy Spirit's job to clean you up for the throne
Looking spotless before God after this life's gone
Good job, my faithful servant, you can come on home

Adam said it wasn't me, I got the fruit from Eve
Eve said no, the serpent went and gave it me 
Serpent said I'll take the blame, it was my territory
But you'll see, why are you hanging out by the tree
Don't be hanging out by the tree
Don't be hanging out by the tree
Don't be hanging out by the tree
Don't be hanging out by the tree
