Intro: Verse 1: For seven years I've stood right here And the flowers grow green by day All for the yarns that I was told I spread my arms when they grew cold And warded off the rain Chorus: The bigger the tree, the deeper the root The grass that is trodden underfoot Give it time And it'll surely rise again Verse 2: I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains And I'll bow and sometimes bend Until I fall and crush the forms Of a few small friends who stood through storms And who will rise again (chorus) (guitar solo over verse and chorus chords) Verse 3: It's laughter? dust, the Derby's just Redo? it or be done Wild? to wind and wise to pain Wizard of the worldly game Treasoned into trust (chorus) (guitar solo over verse and chorus chords to fade) If anyone knows the real lyrics, especially the third verse, I would greatly appreciate someone sending them to me. *** submitted by Hirsch Freeman *** send comments or corrections to [email protected]
