Lyrics:
old tree
let it stand
until it dies of its old age
it has seen so many things
it could tell us
we have seen it
full of flowers
old tree
let it stand

we are walking
we know, we feel, we sense
we know this walk will lead us home
when this tree
is full of flowers
we will know that we are home
old tree
let it stand
let no one cut it down
