I am Oak & I am Willow

Kapoed to the 4rd fret
Key of B

I've been aerie and I am Rainbow.
I've been everywhere the wind blows.
When the calling I'll go
See what I see.
I am of this family,
I and I choose to be free,
And I know, only what I know.

I know of sweet grass and sage,
And I've read some words on a page,
But words don't hold what I feel
Or what I'm trying to say.
It's not freedom that I treasure,
It's something I can't name or measure

1st Bridge

I know of rivers and of shores.
I've seen all of that and more,
And I'm grateful to know,
That some things in me can grow.

 

Chorus

I've seen this in the skies
And I've seen it in your eyes.
And I feel this flow through me,
'And I know,
I am oak and I am Willow
 

 

I've been an eagle and a sparrow
I am blood and bone and marrow.
I know that this body is going to pass
But what I really am will last
I am mind and I am soul,
I am young and I am old
And all I am or I have been
I know this moment will not come again

2nd Bridge

I've been a wolf I've been a deer
I can see and I can hear
Everything is just the way it's supposed to be
And I know I need not fear.

 

Chorus

I've seen this in the skies
And I've seen it in your eyes.
And I feel this flow through me,
'And I know,
I am oak and I am Willow

 

 

I've been kind and I am Rainbow.
I've been everywhere the wind blows.
Hate is the root of every sin
And it won't end if we don't begin.
After all these years I still believe in love,
And there is something up above,
Listening to you and me.

And wherever I may go I know
I am oak and I am Willow
