Come weep with the willows
And stand firm with the oaks
Come lay bare your soul
As nature evokes
Leaves fall like tears
As they die away
Their death brings us beauty
To behold here today
Blossoms give us fragrance
As they come in bloom
Beauty in a moment
Then they retire to their tomb
Stand firm, sweet willows
And weep, strong oaks
They shall lay bare their souls
As nature evokes
There is beauty in death
And beauty in life
But you may not see it
For it hides beneath tears and strife
It all seems a contradiction
This beauty hidden in tears
But courage comes only
When there are fears
So come weep and sing with the willows
Come stand firm and dance with the oaks
I shall lay bare my soul
As nature evokes
And stand firm with the oaks
Come lay bare your soul
As nature evokes
Leaves fall like tears
As they die away
Their death brings us beauty
To behold here today
Blossoms give us fragrance
As they come in bloom
Beauty in a moment
Then they retire to their tomb
Stand firm, sweet willows
And weep, strong oaks
They shall lay bare their souls
As nature evokes
There is beauty in death
And beauty in life
But you may not see it
For it hides beneath tears and strife
It all seems a contradiction
This beauty hidden in tears
But courage comes only
When there are fears
So come weep and sing with the willows
Come stand firm and dance with the oaks
I shall lay bare my soul
As nature evokes
