As the tree stands tall
Deeply rooted in its virtues,
We stand strong
Firmly planted in hope.
We branch out
Providing shelter for the lost!
As the tree stands tall
We stand together with you.
Like a child needs its mother
We must all look to each other.
Until we grow
And can fend for ourselves,
Then we shall fight
protecting children of our own.
As the tree stands tall
We stand together with you.
We know the storm is coming
And we know it's coming soon,
Bringing wind and thunder
Destruction and fear.
But come the dawn the sky will be clear...
For though they try to cut us down
We will never fall!
We will stand together
As the tree stands tall.
When our time at last has come
and we've sung our final song,
It echoes with our children
Our legacy lives on.
In the silence you can hear
Through the leaves our sacred call.
As the tree stands tall...
