Once upon a time was there



an old and lonely tree



By him folks had come and gone



And he was standing still



No carved names No dance and prayers Took his sorrows away



He dreamed to have all lives and hearts



And own them all his own



The children's laughter tears for joy



New born babys too



Up he swallowed birds and beasts to fill his lonely soul





Now that he is all alone



The old and lonely tree



No more song is in the wind



And the tree is standing still





Once uopn a time was there



an old and lonely tree



The clear and blue sky up above



And he was standing still



Shiny snowflakes,rain in spring



Could never ease his soul



He dreamed to have the whole wide world



And own it all his own



Oceans and mountains flowers in white



The sun,the moon and the stars



Even the shadows swallowed he to fill his empty soul





Now that he is all alone



The old and lonely tree



no more day or night exists



And the tree is standing still
