Lyrics
Mother Tree
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was born in the strangest time
I had no roots that i could find
People living in rows and lines
Started me digging
Say, where oh where's the forgotten tree
The many branches of humanity
Whose roots come down to you and me
Why is it hidden?
So i search the earth and i search the sky
Beyond the shores and borderlines
From the andes up to the northern rockies
I will not stop 'til i find me the mother tree
Well our tongues were tied and our hands were bound
People robbed of common ground
When the new boss came to town
The old ways started dying
I looked for clues but what i heard
Was truth twisted, history blurred
Divide the people, conquer the world
But the tree survived
So i search the earth and i search the sky
Beyond the shores and borderlines
From the highlands to the aegean sea
No i will not stop, i will not stop
Yeah, i search the earth and i search the sky
Beyond the shores and borderlines
I will cross the nile to the kalahari
I will not stop 'til i find me the mother tree
From the himalayas to ayers rock
I'm scaling the walls and i'm picking the locks
And i'm discovering that each of us
Came from the indigenous
Where oh where is the mother tree
Gonna hunt the mystery
From the northern lights to the caspian sea
Why is it hidden?
Gonna find that magic wood
Bring the seeds back home for good
To plant in my old neighborhood
I feel it, i feel it coming
So i search the earth and i search the sky
Beyond the shores and borderlines
Going up the indus and down the yangtze
I will not stop, i will not stop
Yeah, i search the earth and i search the sky
Beyond the shores and borderlines
I will sail the shannon in search of thee
And i will not stop 'til i find me the mother tree
From the yucatan i'm on my way
To hokkaido and spirits bay...
(note: ayres rock is also known as uluru)
