[Verse 1] Morning shadows on the dusty ground Children laughing all around Old hands carving yesterday While the leaves just sway and sway Little birds don’t ask for much Just a branch and gentle touch Every season comes and goes Still the silent banyan grows [Chorus] Under the banyan tree Time moves patiently Every falling leaf Finds another dream Under the banyan tree No need to hurry Roots below and stars above Holding everyone with love [Verse 2] Grandmother hums an ancient line Coffee cooling in the sunshine Someone whistles down the road Carrying a lighter load Rain arrives without a sound Wakes the sleeping thirsty ground Then it leaves without goodbye Only clouds across the sky [Bridge] Nothing owned Nothing lost Only moments gently crossed Hand in hand Day by day Let the island find its way [Chorus] Under the banyan tree Time moves patiently Every falling leaf Finds another dream Under the banyan tree No need to worry Roots below and stars above Holding everyone with love [Outro] Under the banyan tree We become the breeze Without a word Without a sound Only peace is found
