Lyrics
Voices older than the trees themselves
Rise from the green like breathing mist
Each melody wraps around the next
Until no single thread exists
Forest voices forty thousand years of song
Forest voices forty thousand years of song
Years of song
Years of song
The forest is the instrument
The trees conduct the canopy
No written score no music school
Just lungs that learned from ancestry
Before the drum before the string before the flute before the song
There was a voice and then another voice that knew exactly where to go
Forest voices forty thousand years of song
Forest voices forty thousand years of song
Years of song
Years of song
The light falls green through seven layers
Each leaf a filter for the sun
Down here the air tastes like it did
When human music first begun
I close my eyes and hum a note
A voice I've never met responds
The forest doesn't ask your name
It simply lets you sing along
