CROOKED TREE
Two trees in the forest
One was crooked, one was straight
Crimson bark and emerald needles
Growing day by day
And though they looked so different
They enjoyed the rain the same
Side by side
A chickadee had told them
Of a darkness on the land
The spinning blades that came to visit
Carried by a man
And every other tree would see them
Cut down where they stand
By and by
Oh can’t you see
A crooked tree won’t fit into the mill machine
They’re left to grow wild and free
Oh I’d rather be a crooked tree
The perfect trees were driven
Down the mountain to the mill
They turned them into toothpicks
And twenty dollar bills
It seemed the more the people took
The more they needed still
In the end…
The crooked trees were left there
after all the work was done
Now they go for weeks
And never witness anyone
No one left to tell them if they’re
growing right or wrong
but the whispering wind...
Oh can’t you see
A crooked tree won’t fit into the mill machine
They’re left to grow wild and free
I’d rather be a crooked tree
People say I’m different
And my way of life seems strange
I took the road less traveled
Twists and turns along the way
But like the crooked tree
I’m growin stronger day by day
As the clouds roll by…
A river never wonders
Why it flows around the bend
A mountain doesn’t question
How it rose up from the land
So who am I to wish
I wasn’t just the way I am
Who am I…
Oh can’t you see
A crooked tree won’t fit into the mill machine
They’re left to grow wild and free
Oh I’d rather be a crooked tree
A crooked tree won’t fit into the mill machine
They’re left to grow wild and free
I’d rather be a crooked tree
Oh I’d rather be a crooked tree

I've had alopecia for 20+ years and spent most of that time never laying eyes on another alopecian, either IRL or in the media. I don't think I can properly express with words how moving and empowering it is to see such a talented, beautiful young woman performing openly without her wig. Love Molly. Love the song. And a friendly reminder - representation matters.

When... Oh whats his name..., Made fun of the guys wife at the academy awards for being bald I was totally confused because, she was so gorgeous! I thought she was rocking a bald head because it looked great!! She looked great- WTF,..!! Same reaction here!! Great looking woman, human, being... we need to move on from all the idiotic baggage we all carry around wittingly or un-wittingly. I'm pretty sure.....

Wow. Just plain Wow. Starting with Molly tossing her wig and Jerry Douglas's haunting intro, followed by Molly's crisp songwriting, crystal vocals and stupendous flat picking - not forgetting at all her band that seems to meld better each day - what's NOT to like?

Thank you for spreading the awareness of alopecia. Our 22 yr old son has alopecia areata. His started when he was quite young, as I begin to write this I think of the irony, he used to always want to wear a hat to cover it up, but as he got older he would only wear out of necessity, to guard from the sun. Now he happens to work at a custom hat factory. Love this song btw! Edit - just asked him to remind me, he was 5 when diagnosed, lost all his hair except eye lashes, so kept it from being ‘alopecia universalis’ by age 6
