Great tree of the grassland, call my name

[Verse 1] In the middle of the wide, wide land Stands a giant, watching all I am Roots in stories I have never known Branches holding every place I’ve grown I press my hand to your ancient skin Hear the quiet where my thoughts begin All the days I thought I walked alone Rise like dust, and circle back to home [Chorus] Great tree of the grassland, call my name Hold my heart like a trembling flame If I fall, if I fade, will you still remain? You remember who I am When the sky forgets my face Great tree of the grassland, keep my place [Verse 2] Summer colors in your gentle shade Where my childhood promises were made Laughing winds became my lullabies Leaves were lanterns for my hungry eyes Every scar I tried so hard to hide You reflected in the changing light Said the broken parts could still belong Taught my fragile voice to turn to song (oh) [Chorus] Great tree of the grassland, call my name Hold my heart like a trembling flame If I fall, if I fade, will you still remain? You remember who I am When the sky forgets my face Great tree of the grassland, keep my place [Bridge] If the rivers dry If the herds move on If the winds erase Every path I’ve drawn I will stand by you As the daylight bends Be my only prayer Be my last, dear friend (woah) [Chorus] Great tree of the grassland, call my name Hold my heart like a trembling flame If I fall, if I fade, will you still remain? You remember who I am When the sky forgets my face Great tree of the grassland, keep my place Great tree of the grassland Hold my place
