These Are The Ancient Forests Lyrics

Em D Em
1) Here among the giants, life has grown so rich,
Em D Em
Each living thing has found its special place
Em C D Em
And the lesson to be learned as the seasons slowly turn
Em D Em
Is written on the ages all in grace.
Chorus:
C D Em C D Em
These are the ancient forests , beyond all price or
worth,
C D Em C D Em
Here now they rise in glory , the pride of a living
Earth.
2) Here Earth's magic it flows so strong
You can't ignore the life at every turn,
From the tiny Spotted owl to the mighty Doug fir

The gentle bent of a wispy fern.
These are the ancient forests, these are the only ones,
Rooted to all the ages, still standing in the sun. Bridge:
Em D C D
Stand up, speak out, sing out for the ancient forests
Em D Em
Each day I hear their dyin' call.
Em D C D
Sing high, sing low, sing strong for the ancient
forests
Em D Em C D Em
Each day they tumble and they fall.
3) When I walk there I walk a little quiet,
I guess I feel so humble at their feet
There''s something in their presence,
My God, its almost holy, something overflowing and
complete
These are the ancient forests, these are the oldest
trees,
Rooted to all the ages, why can't we let em be.
(Repeat Bridge and first Chorus)
