Olive

The olive i/ˈɒlɪv/ or i/ˈɑːləv/, known by the botanical name Olea europaea, meaning "european olive", (syn. Olea sylvestris) is a species of small tree in the family Oleaceae, found in much of Africa, the Mediterranean Basin from Portugal to the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and southern Asia as far east as China, as well as the Canary Islands, Mauritius and Réunion. The species is cultivated in many places and considered naturalized in Spain, Algeria, France (including Corsica), Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Malta, Croatia, Slovenia, Albania, Crimea, Egypt, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Argentina, Jordan, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Lebanon, Java, Norfolk Island, California and Bermuda.

The olive's fruit, also called the olive, is of major agricultural importance in the Mediterranean region as the source of olive oil. The tree and its fruit give their name to the plant family, which also includes species such as lilacs, jasmine, Forsythia and the true ash trees (Fraxinus). The word derives from Latin ŏlīva ("olive fruit", "olive tree"; "olive oil" is ŏlĕum) which is cognate with the Greek ἐλαία (elaía, "olive fruit", "olive tree") and ἔλαιον (élaion, "olive oil"). The oldest attested forms of the latter two words in Greek are respectively the Mycenaean 𐀁𐀨𐀷, e-ra-wa, and 𐀁𐀨𐀺, e-ra-wo or 𐀁𐁉𐀺, e-rai-wo, written in the Linear B syllabic script. The word "oil" in multiple languages ultimately derives from the name of this tree and its fruit.

I said it all,
let them call me anything
why cant it all be healed
I said it all
let them be all, they wanna see me fall, im ready to go
I'm a hundred and i'm trying i'm trying to make them understand
two hundred and a lie later still walking unaware
ordinary little lives, im saying I wouldn't let it bother me
tomorrow doesn't matter really, what matters is i'm coming home'
I said it all
let them call me anything
why cant it all be here
I said it all
let them be all, they wanna see me fall, i'm ready to go
Barefooted and docile, i'm trying to make them understand
two olives and a smile later and i'll be on my way
ordinary little lives, im saying I wouldn't let it bother me
tomorrow doesn't matter really, what matters is i'm coming home finally'
This last mile may not seem easy
now it comes to me
hollow as it was, shadows on the wall helped me
Flashes of my life return to me
