Tranquil is the forest
Raging is the sea
Capricious is the wind
but still, they are all free
And all their different faces
Posess beauty in some way
Even when the trees are sleeping
and winter skies are grey
So let the waves come rolling
like thunder 'gainst the shore
As a peaceful answer
to the heavens' mighty roar
And let it be known once and for all
That the forest will stand fast
It will not bend, it will not bow
for as long as the winds may last...
