A VERSE OR TWO FOR THE ANCIENT TREES

The moonlight it was dancing, on waves out on the sea

The stars of heaven hovered, in a shimmering galaxy

A voice from down the ages, so haunting in its song

The ancient trees will tell us, our earth is but our own

Our battles they may find us, no choice may be our own

We travel the wide oceans, we hear them call your name

With sword and gun and hatred, it all seems much the same

Some call your name for glory, some use it for their gain

Its not our place to wonder, the sky does weep from pain

And all God's living creatures, look on with mortal fears

Its ours to hold the banner, its ours to hold it long

Its ours to carry forward, our love shell make us strong

And as the last star shimmers, the new sun's day gives birth

And in this magic moment, a prayer was made for earth

May God protect our trees now, may God protect the earth

And in this magic moment, dawn greets our mother earth
