There Is A Tree

This is a song based on a poem by Thich Nhat Hanh.

Lyrics

There is a tree where the phoenix can alight

Someone is standing there to give love

There is a hand

That can reach into hell and shatter the darkness

This morning the sunshine is limitless

A dove soars in the sky overhead

I remember you, your smile as cool water

Little children remember people

As the flower remember the sunshine

As the water the source

As the moon the stars

Once the mind is made up

The force of violence

Cannot change it

A ladder rises from the caves of hell

Reaches the sky and starts a festival of stars

There is a tree where the phoenix can alight

Someone is standing there to give love
