[Verse]
Â
I will go, to where this river goesÂ
Â
I will walk, to where the big trees growÂ
Â
oh to where yet, I do not knowÂ
Â
But I trust, in this rivers flowÂ
Â
And in the end, time, time will showÂ
[Chorus]
Â
Big Old OakÂ
Â
Big Oak TreeÂ
Â
Three hundred years of stillnessÂ
Â
Three hundred years of calm witnessÂ
Â
I listen for the whisper of the silent one (x2)Â
Â
Where, where next, speak, speak these treesÂ
Â
I dont yet know, Im just following my feetÂ
[Chorus]
Big Old Oak
Big Oak Tree
Three hundred years of stillness
Three hundred years of calm witness
Â
I listen for the whisper of the silent one (x2)Â
Â
Where, where next, speak, speak these treesÂ
Â
I dont yet know, im just listening inside of meÂ
[Chorus]
Big Old Oak
Big Oak Tree
Three hundred years of stillness
Three hundred years of calm witness
I listen for the whisper of the silent one (x2)
Â
You hold my hand as we walk these sacred landsÂ
Carry my soul, as we live and we grow oldÂ
Â
Your branches, they dance and with the wind we playÂ
Â
By your side my heart forever staysÂ
[Chorus]
Big Old Oak
Big Oak Tree
Three hundred years of stillness
Three hundred years of calm witness
I listen for the whisper of the silent one (x2)
Â
Wise old man, teacher of meÂ
Â
silver haired man, spirit of this oak treeÂ
Â
I offer up myself in service of theeÂ
Â
you stand in majesty and I bow down on my kneesÂ
Â
for in our hands we hold, the wisdom of this earthÂ
Â
and a guardian I will stand and protect my motherlandsÂ
[Chorus]
Big Old Oak
Big Oak Tree
Three hundred years of stillness
Three hundred years of calm witness
I listen for the whisper of the silent one (x2)
