Tell Me About The Forest Lyrics

    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.
