Willow - lyrics by Tu

I once meet a river ...a river that ran
It tumbled down the mountain and raced across the land
I asked the river where do you go..And to my amazement he said would you like to know
I go see the willow ..the willow that weeps
Her long reaching roots in my waters drink
And when she has quenched her thirst
when she has had her fill
I carry away the tears that she spilled

I once met a robin a robin who sang
I asked the robin why do such a thing
Why sing with all your heart at the break of day….To my amazement this she did say
I sing for the willow for she is the most beautiful tree
I sing to the rhythm of the wind in her leaves
And from high up in my nest... I see the sunrise
I sing with all my heart is that a surprise

I once meet a willow... a willow that wept
And through this willow the wind calmly swept
I asked with pity why had she cried ...and to my amazement this she replied
The warmth that the sun gives…. the sweetness of the rain
The good earth beneath me…. I do not complain
Pity me not, for the only cross I bear
is that the world is so beautiful it brings me to tears
