Lyrics of The Oak by Show of Hands
For shelter and shade has the oak tree grown
The ship, the cradle, the hearth and home
Arms so strong they hold the sky
Stood so long that the heart can′t die
The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart
The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark
The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart
The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark
Tear the branch and your crops will fail
Break the bough and your fleet won't sail
It cries when the black rain burns
Trees die when the seas return
The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart
The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark
...
A dozen generations, the oak tree′s grown
(The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart)
The roots reach deep into the rocks and bones
(The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark)
The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart
The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark
The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart
The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark
The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart
The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark
The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart
The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark
Writer(s): Michael John Trim, Steve Knightley
