lyrics

Deep in the forest a young oak tree
Thriving towards the sun
Her beauty unmatched she wears a lush
Crown of lovely green leaves

Branches push out towards the sky
Roots can be tamed by none
Bark so smooth, kind heartwood
Yet in anguish she grieves

For once she met a bird, woodpecker
With love and trust he flew on her twig
Day by day the bond grew thicker
And when he left the hole was too big

Why is the life this way?
Why is the nature cruel?
Woodpecker bores a hole
Right in the heartwood

So is the life’s way
So is the nature’s rule
Sometimes it might be cold
Sometimes it may seem cruel

But then she felt a climbing squirrel
With hazel fruit to bear the winter
He padded her forsaken barrel
And once again the love embraced her

For this is the life’s way
For this is the nature’s rule
A rodent finds his home
Right in the heartwood

So is the life’s way
So is the nature’s rule
The warmth replaces cold
And revives the heart of wood
