[Verse 1]
In the night while in his room
Forest grew, and grew, and grew
Tender newbial, shoots of pine
The leafy arms and mountain dew
[Verse 2]
Grasping woody hands they weave
A newborn forests canopy
Fragile saplings stretching out
They catch the sunlight carefully
[Verse 3]
Look the trees grow taller now
The leaves are holding back the sky
Scamper through the woods young man
Your little legs are young and sprite
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
There among the rotting leaves
A quietly excited stream
Though you may not trust your eyes
You should now, this is not a dream
[Verse 5]
Let the running water be your compa**
Be your northern star
You're old enough to know now
That without a guide, you won't go far
[Verse 6]
Up ahead, between the trunks
A glimpse of surf and sand and wave
Towering rocks that catch the splash
Of cold and careless ocean spray
[Verse 7]
Taste the subtle salts that ride
A worn and weary ocean breeze
The boy a**umes a sailors face
And makes his way out of the trees
[Interlude]
[Verse 8]
There's the beach! And there's the boat!
A weathered pile of wood and nail
Broken planks to serve as oars
And case the fickle winds, shevail
[Pre-Chorus]
So grab the rud- and tether
See the sea before you
Trim the tattered sails
Let the waves adore you
[Chorus]
Grab the tether
Sea the sea before you
Trim the sails
Let the waves adore you
[Interlude]
[Chorus] x5
Grab the tether
See the sea before you
Trim the sails
Let the waves adore you
