Lyrics
...................
[Verse]
the old oak tree. standing tall and proud.
with its limbs bent old and grey.
if it could speak what stories would it say?
would it tell of lovers in love or wars, blood and tears.
would it tell us of so many broken fears.
or would it tell us about the nights of endless bounds.
about the songs in distant memories that no longer make a sound.
[Chorus]
the old oak tree standing tall and proud.
with its limbs bent old and grey.
if it could speak, what would it say?

[Verse 2]
maybe it would speak of the birds, singing their songs.
or of a lost angel that found her way home.
maybe of the lives lost fighting the good fight.
or maybe it would say, don't worry so much, everythings going to be alright.
[Bridge]
maybe it would tell us knowledge of legends from the past.
or maybe about the loving words someone spoke last.

[Verse 3]
if it could speak I bet it could tell.
us everything between heaven and hell.
I bet it has stories that nobodies has ever heard.
and secrets beyond comprehension.
oh if it could just mudder just one word.

[Chorus]
that old oak tree standing tall and proud.
with its limbs bent old and grey
if it could speak, oh what would it say?
oh that old oak tree.
