about

This song was written after a beautiful hike through Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island.

lyrics

Chain saw starts to gnaw
As the ax breaks into bark
Eight hundred rings of life lines
Death rows by red mark

The ancestral old growth
Keeps the sacred charm
Holds onto our history
Through this age of harm

Some day you’re going to look around
And see them taken from the ground
With every breath we owe to a tree
Please let them go, let them be

Touch the past in Cathedral Grove
Pioneers under fairy moss
Rekindled old spirits
That may be forever lost

Yield the ancient wisdom
Of these hundreds of years
Stop the mindless cutting
In the wake of many tears

Some day you’re going to look around
And see them taken from the ground
With every breath we owe to a tree
Please let them go, let them be

Mind your forests…
Save the old Ones….
