The Oaks by Kiera Lyons Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you have a moment, let me sing you a song
A song of when life was still gold
When the trees still bore fruit, and the rivers ran blue
When our Mother still breathed, 'til her last breath she drew

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ohh)
(Ohh)
(Ohh)
(Ohh)

[Chorus]
But the oaks still stand, so mighty and strong
Yeah, the oaks will still be here long after we're gone
For their roots run deep, run right through the Earth
After all that has happened they still won't be hurt

[Verse 2]
Oh, the sky was once blue and the flowers oncе bloomed
When the soil gavе life, all was shiny and new
Yeah, there once was a time there was blood in our veins
Now there's blood on our hands, and our souls are in chains
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ohh)
(Ohh)
(Ohh)
(Ohh)

[Chorus]
But the oaks still stand so mighty and strong
Yeah, the oaks will still be here long after we're gone
For their roots run deep, run right through the Earth
After all that has happened they still won't be hurt

[Bridge]
(Ohh)
(Ohh)
(Ohh) (Ohh)
(Ohh) (Ohh)

(Ohh) (Ohh)
(Ohh) (Ohh)
(Ohh) (Ohh)
(Ohh) (Ohh)

[Bridge]
But the oaks still stand so mighty and strong
Yeah, the oaks will still be here long after we're gone
Even when it's too late, and all we had is gone
Oh, the oaks will still be here, the oaks will live on
[Outro]
If you have a moment, will you sing me a song
