Lyrics
REDWOODS SING
Words and Music by John Cannon
I used to be the picture of perfection
As you can see I’m nowhere near that now
But experience has shown the best is yet to come
‘cause best of all, you’re still here with me
There was a time we went too near the edge
Though not so far, it seems so long ago
Back on the path there is no regretting
For what’s been done is best when left that way
Redwoods sing, redwoods sing
Redwoods tall and strong, this is where we belong
To hear you hummin’ low to the earth and the sky
Cool clear stream below, this is where we can go
To hear you singing like the wind
Makes us one with you
I try to see the future but to no avail
Life often turns out different anyway
But this moment that we’re sharing right now
Is one thing we can have that’s truly real
Redwoods sing, redwoods sing
Redwoods tall and strong, this is where we belong
To hear you hummin’ low to the earth and sky
Cool clear stream below, this is where we can go
To hear you singing like the wind
Makes us one with you
