THE REDWOOD TREE
Through a forest Did I walk one day
And a giant redwood tree Did I meet along the way
Oh redwood tree
How tall and mighty do you stand You must be deeply rooted
Here in this old land
A feeling strong and proud Do I feel from thee
I also sense your age And wisdom born of history
And as I stood before The mighty redwood tree Quite suddenly I felt it more And that tree did speak to me
Man oh man
Who stands in front of me Bend over and pick up
That tiny pebble you can see
You see that pebble little man The one you are holding in your hand
There is a tale that I shall tell So you may know it very well
