Tears Of The Tree
Tears Of The Tree
Fire burns in the land
Flames shouting out
Beating a path
A trail of havoc
And wrath
A great flame
Rises up, lashes out
A searing flash
Across my back
Pain and agony
Where to run
Where to hide
Trail of fire
After me
Burning flesh
Searing pain
Agony
I will die
I will die
Hiding under
A great willow
Weeping branches
Surround me
Tears of the tree
Envelope me
My tears mingle
With the tree
Flame is searching
Flame all around
Tears of the tree
Shelter me
Holding me close
Willow so mighty
Willow so strong
What makes you cry?
What makes you cry?
I cry for you
I cry for all
I will shelter
From the storm
I will hold
And keep you warm
I am compassion
My tears are for you
Stay with me
If you believe
I will protect thee
Nothing will
Harm you
Have faith
Have hope
You may rest
I will soothe
Do not cry
Do not cry
Leaving on the
Great tree
Feeling the strength
Shielding me
Weeping branches
Protecting from harm
No more pain
No cause for alarm
I am so tired
The flame is
Burning low
Small fire
Losing
Power
It will die
It will die
