34. There Is a Forest

    1.
    There is a forest filled with peace
    where my heart finds its rest.
    Just go and sit to find release.
    ‘Tis Gaia’s true bequest.
    ‘Tis Gaia’s true bequest,
    ‘tis Gaia’s true bequest.
    Just go and sit to find release.
    ‘Tis Gaia’s true bequest.

    2.
    No matter what your wild misdeed,
    nor what your errant path,
    however great your ravenous greed,
    the trees absorb your wrath.
    The trees absorb your wrath,
    the trees absorb your wrath.
    However great your ravenous greed,
    the trees absorb your wrath.

    3.
    Their roots beneath, their limbs above
    with unseen eyes and ears,
    and patience filled with love, the trees
    are wise beyond our years.
    They’re wise beyond our years,
    they’re wise beyond our years.
    Their patience filled with love, the trees
    are wise beyond our years.
