Fallen tree rotting on the ground
What a fierce wind did blow
We all share in the sacred wound
While here on earth below
Fallen tree, let us learn from thee
Fallen tree, let us learn from thee
Saplings grow from your rich dark soil
Your parting gift of love
To these young trees that they may reach
The clear blue sky above
Fallen tree, let us learn from thee
Fallen tree, let us learn from thee
