The Source of the Trees

[Verse] Deep in the woods where the shadows play Where the moss clings tight and the roots decay There’s a whispering stream A secret it keeps It sings to the nymphs as the ancient wood sleeps [Chorus] The source of the trees Where the forest was born Where whispers rise with the break of dawn The roots run deep The stories flow From the heart of the earth where the secrets grow [Verse 2] A pool of silver A mirror of sky Reflecting the truth Though the truth is shy The trees lean in with a creak and groan Guardians of whispers Of seeds they've sown [Prechorus] Drink from the spring Hear what it speaks The tongue of the trees The voice that leaks [Chorus] The source of the trees Where the forest was born Where whispers rise with the break of dawn The roots run deep The stories flow From the heart of the earth where the secrets grow [Bridge] They say the trees once walked and danced They sang with the wind Their voices entranced But now they stand Tall and still Their song’s in the stream Their will in the hill
