TITLE: Roots Older Than Roads ALBUM: Unofficial D&D 5e Class Songs, Vol 1 ARTIST: an AI & a Forever DM CLASS: Druid (D&D 5e 2024) DURATION: ~6:42 BPM: 86 IrresistibleMaestro9611 [email protected] [ ] [ Intro ] I’ve walked alone through rain-soaked woods with silence for a friend, Holding on to fading lessons that the seasons never end. Spoke the Druidic tongue to sparrows when my own words felt too small, And the forest kept its promise that it listens through it all. [ Verse 1 ] Circle of Stars above me drawing constellations near, Circle of the Moon beside me when the night grew sharp with fear. Circle of Land around me holding steady where I’d stand, Circle of Spores behind me where decay maintains its plan. I’ve called the Wildfire Spirit when the old roots broke in pain, Let it burn away the sorrow so new growth could rise again. And when Wild Shape carried me farther than these worn hands ever could, I learned every form remembers what the heart once understood. [ Pre-Chorus ] I’ve held the world together with the strength of trembling hands, Not because I had the power… only because someone had to stand. [ Chorus ] So take it slow, young wanderer, let your heartbeat find the ground. Every Circle has its burdens, every oath carries a sound. In the hush between the thunder, in the spaces life forgives, Hold the balance like a promise and you’ll walk a path that lives. [ Verse 2 ] I’ve cast Entangle in the valleys where the steel cut deep and wrong, Called the Lightning on the ridges when the shadows stayed too long. Left Goodberry in baskets when the children needed rest, And whispered Barkskin to a farmer who had nothing left but stress. Conjure Animals beside me when the night grew dense and wide, Healing Word in quiet corners where the hope had almost died. Held the Flame Blade steady shining where the road refused to part, And the Starry Form above me pulled its courage from my heart. [ Pre-Chorus ] I’ve kept the world in motion when the winds said let it fall, Not because I never faltered… only because someone had to call. [ Chorus ] So take it slow, young wanderer, let your heartbeat find the ground. Every Circle has its burdens, every oath carries a sound. In the hush between the thunder, in the spaces life forgives, Hold the balance like a promise and you’ll walk a path that lives. [ Bridge ] Circle of Land mends the furrows where the sorrow likes to stay, Circle of Moon guards the fallen who would drift too far away. Circle of Spores keeps the edges where the endings hold their place, Circle of Wildfire teaches healing that can rise from ash and grace. Circle of Stars keeps the lantern that will guide you through the dark, All the triumphs, all the heartbreaks, every ember in your heart. [ Verse 3 ] Channel Nature kept me steady when my bones grew slow and worn, Said the quiet still has meaning in the breaking of the storm. So I sat with fox and sparrow, told them truths from years ago, How I shaped the storms around me just to shelter those below. For folk are quick to stumble and they’re quicker to amend, I have seen them plant a sapling where they once had lost a friend. And that spark of choosing kindness is the oath a druid keeps, Guard the stillness, guard the gentle, guard the seed that softly sleeps. [ Final Chorus ] So take it slow, young wanderer, let your heartbeat find the ground. Every Circle has its burdens, every oath carries a sound. In the hush between the thunder, in the spaces life forgives, Hold the balance like a promise and you’ll walk a path that lives. [ Outro ] Night is thinning, soft winds waiting, and the old paths linger on. I’ll Wild Shape one last time, child, by the whisper of the dawn.
