Where the river flows from the turquoise foaming sea Passing over smooth seashells, worn down from the relentless motion The water feeds the earth and the earth feeds the tree But all of this, life, comes from the ocean
And the trees that came from this water That began as a seed and grew so much taller Huddle round like a mother and father The little trees that still need so much water
These trees, when the wind blows Their leaves dance a graceful ballet In the swirling, twirling endless breeze And they show me what joy can mean
The dark wood becomes a beautiful sandy brown when a ray of light falls on it The tree, who have seen so much, felt so much, must not move to help a soul The roots are sunk down into the moist earth, never to see the ray of sun that lights up the tree they are part of.
