Verse 1:
I come here to heal. I come here to rest. I come here to breathe from your succulent nest.
Lying beneath massive pillars of red. Your little brown fronds kiss my face and my head.
And when I look up. Wayayay up a great sight I do see.
Ancient red giants swaying in the breeze. And… {Chorus}
Chorus:
The dance goes on without making a sound.
The dance goes on while your brothers fall around.
The dance goes on—it goes on and on.
The dance goes on ‘til the last one hits the ground.
Verse 2:
For hundreds of years you stood strong, straight, and tall.
You’ve seen earthquakes and fires. You’ve been through it all.
Now men with their chainsaws are comin’ to call.
And they climb up. Wayayay up but they just cannot see.
Those ancient red giants swaying in the breeze. Still… {Chorus}
Musical Interlude
Verse 3:
Now the battle is over. The damage is done. The houses are built. And the trees, there are none.
But out of the rubble a new sapling comes. And it springs up. Wayayay up and catches the sun.
And if you look real close, you just might see. That little red giant swaying in the breeze. And… {Chorus}
