Das Lied beschreibt das mystische Erwachen der Natur im Frühling. Nach der Stille des Winters beginnen Erde, Pflanzen und Tiere wieder zu leben: Wurzeln regen sich, Flüsse fließen, Vögel kehren zurück. Der Kreislauf des Lebens setzt sich fort, getragen von einer alten, verborgenen Kraft. Feld und Wald erwachen gemeinsam, und alles Lebendige ist miteinander verbunden. The song portrays the mystical awakening of nature in spring. After winter’s silence, the earth, plants, and animals return to life: roots stir, rivers flow, and birds come back. The cycle of life resumes, driven by an ancient, hidden force. Fields and forests awaken together, revealing the deep connection between all living things. -------------------------------------------------- Verse 1 Beneath the frost the roots awaken, Soft they stir in darkened ground, Through silent soil the breath is taken, Till hidden life is rising round. Pre-Chorus Oh the wheel is turning slow, Feel it in the roots below. Chorus (Refrain 1) Rise, oh green, and rise again, Through the root and through the rain, Feel the drum beneath the ground, In every leaf the life is found. Verse 2 The river breaks its frozen chain, It winds its way through field and stone, It calls the earth to wake again, And claims the land as once its own. Chorus (Refrain 2 – slight variation) Rise, oh green, and rise once more, From the seed to forest floor, Feel the drum beneath the ground, In every bloom the life resounds. Verse 3 The fox walks soft through silver dew, The blackbird sings the morning clear, The budding trees in tender hue Call wandering wings to gather near. Bridge And in the dusk where shadows play, The old songs drift on wind and air, What slept in dark now finds its way, In root and branch and creatures fair. Chorus (Refrain 3 – variation) Rise, oh green, and rise so deep, From the earth that does not sleep, Feel the drum beneath the ground, In every heart the life is found. Outro So turn, old wheel, and turn once more, From field to wood, from shore to shore.
