Tell Me About the Forest (You Once Called Home) |
Farewell now my sister |
Up ahead there lies your road |
And your conscience walks beside you |
It’s the best friend you will ever know |
And the past is now your future |
It bears witness to your soul |
Make sure that the love you offer up Does not fall on barren soil. |
For the wind cries of late |
In the whispering grass. |
Our way of life is held |
In the spinning wheels of chance. |
I believe in the ways of an older law |
When we used to dance to a different drum |
And we are changing are ways |
Yes we are taking on different roads |
Tell me more about the forest |
That you once called home. |
For the wind cries of late |
In the whispering leaves |
And the sun will turn to waste |
The heavens we build above. |
Father teach your children |
To treat our mother well |
If we give her back her diamonds |
She will offer up her pearl. |
But I’m not bitter no I’m surviving |
To face the world, to raise the future. |
So why don’t you tell me, come on and tell me About the world you left behind. |
Come on and tell me. |
