They are the gnarled old men of the woods,
Standing sentry over magical lands.
Children swing from their arms
And lovers embrace at their feet.
Families gather in their shadows
To break bread and relax
And solitary figures lean against them
Taking strength from their strength.
They are the gnarled old men of the woods,
Standing sentry over magical lands.
We owe them our lives
