[Verse 1] He lives in a hollow stump, small back curved like a folded leaf. Animals pass without a glance [pre chorus] they don’t know he carries everything they won’t keep. [Chorus 1] He holds the fear they drop at night, the aches they hide, the things they fight. He bends a little more each day, so they can run and he can stay. [Verse 2] Before dawn the fox grows restless, the deer shakes off a trembling leg. Their weight slides toward his chest, [pre chorus] and he sinks lower into the earth-soft bed. [Chorus 2] He takes the burden none can see, the forest breathes because of he. No creature wakes with yesterday he keeps it quiet, out of the way. [instrumental distorted guitar harmonic soft melodie] [ANGEL CHOIR] Hold him now, light as rain. Carry what became his pain. Let him rest, no more to bear soften him, the woods’ own heir.
