The Olive Tree |
| When evening by the olive tree |
| Strangest thing came over me |
| A vision deep inside my soul |
| Like outta time, in days of old |
| This funny feeling made it seem |
| Like I was caught inside a dream |
| As pharaohs layin' down to sleep |
| With riches, stones, and slaves to keep |
| I saw the Christians shed their blood |
| I saw Noah fight the raging flood |
| And as I watched, a mammoth drank |
| From waters by the tundra bank |
| Before the ice caps melted down |
| The seas of liquid all around |
| Before the sultans drew the sword |
| Before the story of the world |
| Before the Druids raised the spear |
| Genghis Khan spilled blood and tears |
| Before we got here, you and me |
| Way before the olive tree |
| This funny feeling, running through |
| It was kinda like a deja vu |
| I really love that feeling when |
| You know you’re coming back again |
| Before the ice caps melted down |
| The seas of liquid all around |
| Before the sultans drew the sword |
| Before the story of the world |
| Before the Druids raised the spear |
| Genghis Khan spilled blood and tears |
| Before we got here, you and me |
| Way before the olive tree |
