Farewell Punga Punga

[Verse] Oh mighty punga punga you stood so tall Your roots held the whispers of seasons’ call They cut you down but can’t take your soul You’ll hum in the breeze and make us whole [Chorus] We mourn for you under this gray-lit sky The echo of leaves where you used to cry Punga punga gone but not erased In memory’s arms you will be embraced [Verse 2] Your trunk bore scars of stories untold Rings of wisdom in circles of gold They silenced your shade and your gentle lean But in each heart you’re a vibrant green [Bridge] Axes may bite but they can’t touch your might In dreams you’ll rise under moon’s pale light Punga punga Your spirit won’t fall You’re the legend carved into us all [Chorus] We mourn for you under this gray-lit sky The echo of leaves where you used to cry Punga punga gone but not erased In memory’s arms you will be embraced [Verse 3] The sparrows lament where your branches grew They search for their haven in skies of blue But your roots are deep in the earth’s embrace Punga punga we’ll see your face
