Lyrics
OVERSTORY
Water’s cold
Planets sold
Underneath
A jagged canopied sky
Is all she ever needed
Terra firma fortified
Tumbling over Arbutus sea cliffs
Salmon streams cascading by
Falls glacial icy cold
Until there’s no pain left to hold
Conifer giants high looking down
Swaying over the berries turned brown
Life feeds on life
Death directed paths rife
Reborn conviction
Shaped by time weathered stone
We are all one
In the forest called home
We must save to save
Or forever be enslaved
Be like thin willow and bend with the wind
Knowing these trees and our being is twinned
Take heed or nature will have her revenge
Overstory emerges over again
Overstory unfolding again
