What?

One line in the first verse, that is repeated in hte chorus is 'there is a tree that marks the places you've been'  it is this line that I wish to emphasise and perhaps add a narrative feel to it. To do this i plan to have a generational timelapse. Whereby in every chorus a different person draws with chalk on the tree before a final shot of the tree with all the marks is revealed, in a shot similar to the photo below.

In christian music and literature the word tree can be read in two different ways being a synonym for the cross or the motif of a tree of life / family tree. I chose to use the semiotic of a tree branch and chalk because then the music may appeal to a wider audience as the video is not overtly christian. Another benefit is the fact that the image of a cross/crucifix can be used elsewhere in the video.
