It's a tale of a girl who traveled the world Who walked where the rivers run free She went for the love That she found up above Where the clouds meet the sky and the sea Climbing up the tree and you will see Further than they want you to be 'Cause it is by the scars that we learn who we are So just keep climbing higher and breathe As she'd met all the people of both war and peace She would go to where hearts are at ease It was under this oak Where she heard her heart spoke Up of love and the rights of her soul As the years did go on Suddenly she was gone And it's said she was taken by trees This is why, oh my dear we go here every year Just to hear the beat of hearts that are free Climbing up the tree and you will see Further than they want you to be Cause it is by the scars that we learn who we are So just keep climbing higher and breathe
