Tree of the Ages

[Intro - Soft Acoustic Guitar Melody with Light Percussion] Oh, let me tell you 'bout a tree, just a tree, Standing tall and proud, as happy as can be. [Verse 1] In the middle of the field, where the grass does sway, There's a tree that's been there since the very first day, Branches reaching high, leaves so green, It's the most magnificent tree you've ever seen. Bark so rough, roots so deep, In the heart of the earth, secrets it keeps, Oh, it's just a tree, but oh what a sight, Glistening in the sun, standing in the light. [Chorus] Oh, the tree, the tree of the ages, Standing strong, through all life's stages, It's just a tree, but can't you see, It's the wonder of the world, to you and me. [Verse 2] Birds find their home, in its leafy embrace, Squirrels run around, making quite the chase, Oh, the stories it could tell, if it could speak, Of seasons gone by, year after week. In spring it blossoms, in autumn it glows, In summer it offers shade, in winter it snows, Oh, it's just a tree, but it's so much more, A timeless wonder, with roots to the core. [Bridge - Soft Guitar and Humorous Harmonica] Every branch a tale, every leaf a song, In the orchestra of nature, it plays along, Oh, it’s just a tree, but in my eyes, It's the greatest marvel under the skies. [Chorus] Oh, the tree, the tree of the ages, Standing strong, through all life's stages, It's just a tree, but can't you see, It's the wonder of the world, to you and me. [Verse 3] People come from miles, just to stand and stare, At this grand old tree, beyond compare, Photographs and sketches, poems and praise, All for this tree, that stands in a daze. In its shadow we find peace, in its presence we find joy, Oh, it's just a tree, but it's not just a decoy, It’s the heartbeat of the field, the king of the land, A symbol of nature’s gentle hand. [Outro - Soft Guitar and Light Percussion Fading] So next time you see a tree, take a moment to pause, Appreciate its beauty, just because, Oh, it's just a tree, but oh what a view, A marvel of nature, simple and true. [End - Gentle Guitar Melody with a Soft, Whimsical Finish]
