Whispers of Gaia

My heart recalls the whispering pines For woodland dreams, oh how it pines [Pre-Chorus] Each step I take on concrete cold Is farther from the tales of old The city's grasp, relentless grip From nature's hand, I slowly slip Guide me through these steel and stone Crowns of towers, not my throne Through the whispering of leaves Is where my restless heart will roam In this cage of lights so bright I yearn for forests in the night I remember (I remember) The emerald seas, the branches high Songs of the wild, where my spirit would fly [Chorus] Oh, take me back, to the sylvan halls To my childhood groves, where the nightingale calls In dreams I dance, where the greenwoods sigh Now I gaze (now I gaze) Upon cold stars through veils of smog that blur my sight My spirit warms with memories old, beneath the moon's soft light [Pre-Chorus] I'm caged but not broken, my dreams shall not bend Though these walls hold me tight, to the wilds I'll ascend A summoning inside, it cries like the wind With every dawn, in silence I wake A longing soul, the city can't slake I walk the paths where once rivers flowed Now buried under streets, their stories untold [Chorus] Oh, set me free, to the mountains so grand To the whispering woods, with the soft, earthen land
