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
