*Title: “The Bramble King ”*
**Verse 1**
The trees gathered in the morning light,
Searching for a ruler wise and bright,
They called the olive from the hill,
“Come and reign with strength and will.”
But the olive softly replied,
“My oil brings honor far and wide,
Why should I leave what Heaven sees,
To wear a crown above the trees?”
**Chorus**
Oh, who will reign in the forest deep?
Who will guide the roots beneath?
Some seek power, some seek fame,
But not every crown is worth the name.
Listen close when ambition calls,
For pride can rise before it falls.
**Verse 2**
Then they turned to the fig tree fair,
Heavy with sweetness everywhere,
“Come be king and take the throne,
Rule the woods and stand alone.”
But the fig tree answered low,
“My fruit gives life and helps men grow,
Why trade my purpose and my grace,
For a high and empty place?”
**Verse 3**
Then the vine began to sway,
As they begged it there that day,
“Come and reign above us all,
Answer now the forest call.”
The vine cried out, “Should I depart,
The wine that cheers the human heart?
Why abandon joy divine,
To chase a throne that is not mine?”
**Bridge**
Then the bramble rose at last,
From the dry and thorny grass,
“If you crown me as your king,
Hide beneath my shadowing.
But if your hearts are not sincere,
Then let consuming fire appear,
And flames will climb the cedar tall,
Till pride and kingdoms crumble all.”
**Final Chorus**
Oh, choose your kings with careful eyes,
Not every voice is truly wise.
Some bear fruit and some bear flame,
Some bring healing, some bring pain.
The forest learned through smoke and fire,
Power reveals the heart’s desire.
**Outro**
The trees still whisper in the wind,
Warnings for the hearts of men,
Better humble fruit that feeds,
Than thorny crowns of selfish greed.
