Lennie Gallant Sequoia
Touch me like a new born brook
Or a leaf pressed in a book
Let me offer you this nest
Lay your head down here to rest
From here we can see the moon
Where the owl sleeps at noon
From here we can feel the world
Far below watch it unfurl
Sequoia… Sequoia
All we have to do is breathe
And in this red wood believe
Another ring another year
We can build a love up here
Sequoia
And no fire can burn it down
And no wind can break it
Send the roots far in the ground
So no storm can shake it
Sequoia
Bitter cold and biting frost
Nothing's worth what doesn't cost
Let the snow fall on the limbs
Shake it off and grow again
Chorus
They may stare in wonder
They may even try to climb
But lightning and thunder
They can't touch what's yours and mine
Yours and mine….Sequoia
Chorus
All we have to do is breathe
And in this red wood believe
Another ring another year
We could save the world from here….Sequoia
