Forest

(intro - 0:00-0:40)

(Chorus)
Ooooh… the forest once sang with us...
Ooooh… the rivers danced with light...
Now the drums echo through the dust,
Calling back the spirit of night.

(Verse 1)
Under the banyan we were born,
Crickets sang till the break of dawn,
Now the wind hums through concrete walls,
The wild ones gone, their voices gone.

(Chorus)
Ooooh… the forest once sang with us...
Ooooh… the rivers danced with light...
Now the drums echo through the dust,
Calling back the spirit of night.

(Verse 2)
The peacock cried where children played,
The deer would drink where dreams were made,
Now silence sits where the mango fell,
And metal roars where the heron stayed.

(Bridge)
We clap our hands to wake the trees,
We stomp the earth, we plead, we pray,
But the green grows faint, the air grows thin,
And the old songs drift away.

(Final Chorus)
Ooooh… the forest once sang with us...
Ooooh… we still hear it in our veins...
Though the fires rise, the roots remember,
We will make the earth sing again.

mmmmmm.................mmmmmm.............
