Chapter 09 ~ Why Tree Stands Tall (Turtle & Tree) |
LyricsWHY TREE STANDS TALLThen, Mother Earth turned to her child, Great Grandmother Tree, and said..."Tree, you are the living green standard of the Biosphere. You provide home for many creatures of the animal kingdom. You give fruit and seed. Only the clouds know the sky better than you." Tree stood noble and erect, her piney branches beautifully raised in unison to the great sky. She felt all of Mother Earth's words from her roots to the tip of her spire.Then, from within the invisible axis running through the center of her trunk, Great Grandmother Tree formed her message for the last generation Children of the Earth. LAST GENERATION CHILDREN OF THE EARTH ~ song Chorus Last generation Children of the Earth, I am your guardian I stand tall as your model, if you wish to be like me Stand still and know the ring of time Verse In the ring of time my knowing it this While standing still, still I spin What I spin stays within Keeping still I grow tall Conserving energy and knowing all On my axis I turn time like Earth Each year one ring, each ring one birth chorus Last generation Children of the Earth, I am your guardian I stand tall as your model, if you wish to be like me Stand still and know the ring of time Chorus Last generation Children of the Earth, I am your guardian I stand tall as your model, if you wish to be like me Stand still and know the ring of time Narration Child of the future, Child of time Can you live in your rings? Can you stand tall? Can you still climb? Verse From your roots in Earthly sleep To reach my branches in the sky, so far so deep Ask the tree who stands so tall Time is your mind and time is all Lift your branches to the sky And raise your dreams where they can fly Chorus(x2) Last generation Children of the Earth, I am your guardian I stand tall as your model, if you wish to be like me Stand still and know the ring of time Coda... The Biosphere holds a place for you Rooted like a tree in the Hunab Ku |
