The Tree Song
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.
Once upon a time was there
An old and lonely tree
By him folks had come and gone
And he was still standing still
No carved names
No dance and prayers
Took his sorrows away
He dreamed to have
All lives and hearts
And own them all his own
The children's laughter
Tears for joy
New born babys too
Up he swallowed birds and beasts
To fill his lonely soul
Now that he is all alone
The old and lonely tree
No more song is in the wind
And the tree is standing still
Once upon a time
Was there an old and lonely tree
The clear and blue sky up above
And he was standing still
Shiny snowflakes, rain in spring
Could never ease his soul
He dreamed to have
The whole wide world
And own it all his own
Oceans and mountains
Flowers in white
The Sun, the Moon and stars
Even the shadows swallowed he
To fill his empty soul
Now that he is all alone
The old and lonely tree
No more day or night exists
And the tree is standing still
