The Tree  (song )

The calm quiet strength of a tree


Anchored deep in the earth


Reaching high in the sky


The calm quiet strength of a tree

The calm quiet strength of a tree


Full of life from its roots


To the tiniest branch


The calm quiet strength of a tree

And oh, how it comforts me


How it teaches me


Without a sound


Then I realize at once


That this tree and

I are one


In eternity

The calm quiet strength of a tree


From the weight of its trunk


To its delicate leaves


The calm quiet strength of a tree

The calm quiet strength of a tree


Showing anyone near


All the secrets of time


The calm quiet strength of a tree
