The wind blew night and day It pulled the barkand snapped the boughs and stole the leaves away The Oak was tired and stark but held its ground as all around Te other trees gave way The deepest part of me you will never see With roots in Earth I never was quite sure all I could endure With roots in Earth But now with thanks to you I'm stronger than I knew And all the strength I need is deep where you can't see The wind gave up and spoke How could you be still standing tall right here in front of me? The Oak replied this way I have roots stretched deep in Earth growing stronger since my birth The deepest part of me you will never see With roots in Earth I never was quite sure all I could endure With roots in Earth But now with thanks to you I'm stronger than I knew And all the strength I need is deep where you can't see I know that you could break Snapping ever limb Breaking every branch Carry every leaf away The deepest part of me you will never see With roots in Earth I never was quite sure all I could endure With roots in Earth But now with thanks to you I'm stronger than I knew And all the strength I need is deep where you can't see
