Lyrics
MOTHER TREE
Mother
Stands before me
Passageway
Earth to sky ascending
Every day
Hemlocks arch before me
Heaven’s scape
Leaves that quiver shaking
Lead the way
We are drops in the ocean
Mother may
I see how you open
Heart bouquets
Mother tree you have spoken
Silk conveys
Gentle songs they are lurking
Underlay
Mother hub you share
Your light and sweets
Threads to roots
You’re pumping under feet
Mother warns us ever to beware
No returning when there’s no one there
Will they see this
Our children after us
Will they hear her feel the mother’s clutch
Spells of magic with her healing touch
