the old man saw the fallen tree   as far more than just dead wood   for love, time and his old sharp knife   could change that tree to something good   so each piece of bark we stripped away   using only his wethered hands   to find the scent of sweet sticky pine   just the wood for this master's plan      soon free from bark this naked tree   cried out for new design   but the patience of the old man   reminded him that great things take time      so he had a vision in his mind   of what he wanted that tree to be   and he saw that tree as perfect and good   beofre he touched a single piece   so he took the tree back to his home   and he set it on his working stone   and he began to chip away, chip away   and soon he did not feel so all alone      the tree began to take shape   oh, his heart began to smile   but he knew he still had work to do    because he remember that great things take time      some pieced of the wood were stubborn   some just cut as easy as the air   but he didn't care how long it took   to make wach part complete   yeah, the time he took just showed    how much he cared   how much he cared      now perhaps in your fearful forest   you've found that you have fallen down   don't be sad, don't be scared   no, do not be afraid   because there is one who can pick you up    off the ground      you see if your destiny is to be carved    into a perfect hing    then life does not begin until you die to    the way you living
