Tell Me About the Forest (you once called home)

Farewell now my sister

Up ahead there lies your road

And your conscience walks beside you

It's the best friend you will ever know

And the past is now your future

It bears witness to your soul

Make sure that the love you offer up

Does not fall on barren soil.



For the wind cries of late

In the whispering grass.

Our way of life is held

In the spinning wheels of chance.



I believe in the ways of an older law

When we used to dance to a different drum

And we are changing are ways

Yes we are taking on different roads

Tell me more about the forest

That you once called home.



For the wind cries of late

In the whispering leaves

And the sun will turn to waste

The heavens we build above.



Father teach your children

To treat our mother well

If we give her back her diamonds

She will offer up her pearl.



But I'm not bitter no I'm surviving

To face the world, to raise the future.

So why don't you tell me, come on and tell me

About the world you left behind.

Come on and tell me.
