Oak Tree Lyrics

I will go
to where this river goes
and I will walk
to where the big trees grow
and to where yet
i do not know
but i have trust
in this rivers flow
and in the end
time, time will show
big old oak
big oak tree
300 years of stillness
300 years of calm witness
i listen for the whisper of the silent one
i listen for the whisper of the silent one
where, where next
speak, speak these trees

i don’t yet know
i’m just following my feet
where, where next
speak, speak these trees
i don’t yet know i’m just
listening inside of me
big old oak
big oak tree
300 years of stillness
300 years of calm witness
i listen for the whisper of the silent one
i listen for the whisper of the silent one
you hold my hand as
i walk these sacred lands
carry my soul as
we live and we grow old
your branches, they dance
with the wind we play
and by your side
my heart forever stays
wise old man
teacher of me
silver haired man
spirit of this oak tree
i offer up myself
in service of thee
for you stand in majesty
and i bow down on my knees
for in our hands we hold
the wisdom of this earth
and the guardian i surrender
protect my mother lands
big old oak
big oak tree
300 years of stillness
300 years of calm witness
i listen for the whisper of the silent one
i listen for the whisper of the silent one
i listen for the whisper of the silent one
i listen for the whisper of the silent one
