The woods live on

No matter what happens

Revolutions come

Leaders go

Life goes on

The woods live on

Cut them down

Burn them up

They keep finding ways

To flourish again

Damn that sickle

The woods live on

You pay no heed

The snakes slither

The birds chirp

The willows rustle

Eventually you find solace in them

The woods live on

You get your table

And your chair

The dollop of honey

You eat with your bread

Yes it’s true

The woods live on

They’ve seen dinosaurs

And the worst of humans

Millions of preys

Under the changing skies

Silently keeping secrets

The woods live on and on and on
