There's a tree in my garden   Tall and dark with countless leaves   And it whispers in the air   And it dances in the breeze   And it sways in the storm   But its hold is strong      And like the hope that's come my way   And turns me 'round to face the sky   The rhythm of this world, the gift of life   The essence that can never die      The hope that's come my way   And turns me 'round to face the sky   The rhythm of this world, the gift of life   The essence that can never die      By a river crystal bright   There's a tree where waters flow   Leaves that fall for our healing   Scattered on the world below   Where angels dance and the people sing      A song of hope that's come my way   And turns me 'round to face the sky   The rhythm of this world, the gift of life   The essence that can never die      The hope that's come my way   And turns me 'round to face the sky   The rhythm of this world, the gift of life   The essence that can never die      A song of hope that's come my way   And turns me 'round to face the sky      The song of hope that's come my way   And turns me 'round to face the sky   The rhythm of this world, the gift of life   The essence that can never die      The hope that's come my way   And turns me 'round to face the sky   The rhythm of this world, the gift of life   The essence that can never die
