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
