I climbed the Redwood Hill   'Twas on a rainy day   To rise above the throng   And talk with Mother Nature for a while      She told me of her love   For the children in her trust   And of her grave concern   For the likes of you and me and us      Crying though she was   She did speak these tender words   The things that I am   I could not change for any man      I tried to comfort her   Ah, but she would not be still   And how the rain did fall   As I found my way back down the Redwood Hill      Crying though she was   She did speak these tender words   The things that I am   I would not change for any man      I tried to comfort her   Ah, but she would not be still   I'll not forget that day   When Mother Nature cried on Redwood Hill      I'll not forget that day   When Mother Nature cried on Redwood Hill
