Song information
I did this song as I was about to escape from an abusive situation involving a large organization which had used my services for a number of years without what I considered adequate respect and consideration. It is about the triumph of the individual over oppression through patience and perseverance. It came a few years later then my fade to black song and is a little more upbeat but still a little angry.

Lyrics
Oh I am just a little twig
On a great big tree
I bend for you when your wind blows through
As you can clearly see

I snap back
I snap back
I snap back

I’m hard to break
Though you twist me round and round
And when that does not work
You bend me up and down

But I snap back
I snap back
I snap back

You hang on me and pull me
And it seems like I comply
I’m growing in the sunshine
While your life is passing by

I snap back
I snap back
I snap back

You’re bigger and you’re higher
Way up on that tree
But you’re not looking at the sky
You’re looking down at me

But I snap back
I snap back
I snap back

You’re stiff and cold and powerful
And you think that you are strong
But I can clearly see from here that you are wrong

I snap back
I snap back
I snap back

When the storm of life blows hard
We’ll see who’s real or fake
I be twisting I’ll be turning
But I’m pretty sure you’ll break

I snap back
I snap back
I snap back

I was thinking same thing that this is great potential for movie scene. So minimalistic and yet so engaging. Well done!
This was Excellent.. a personal nasty situation that you made a productive production out of..l Vocals remind me of a rocking, edgier Cash or Michael Stipes of REM and better.. Very original in lyrics.. How impressive this is
