White Jackal - Old Oak Tree Lyrics

Down by the river, where the wild winds blow
Stands an old oak tree, with roots that grow
Through decades of storms and summer skies
That tree's seen it all through ancient eyes
Carved with initials, love stories told
It's held secrets deep, and stories of old
With branches that reach for the heaven's heights
It stands as a symbol of time and might
Oh, that old oak tree, standing proud and tall
Through the years it's seen it all, heard it all
Through the good times, heartaches, joy, and fear
It stands as a witness, year after year
It's shaded the kids on lazy afternoons
Watched lovers kiss beneath the silver moon
Through all the seasons, it never leaves
A steadfast soul among the changing leaves
The sun rises high, but the tree won't sway
Sturdy and strong, it's here to stay
It's more than bark, it's life and lore
A story that lives forevermore
Oh, that old oak tree, standing proud and tall
Through the years it's seen it all, heard it all
Through the good times, heartaches, joy, and fear
It stands as a witness, year after year
So let's raise a cheer to that grand old tree
It's more than wood, it's history
Through every storm, through wind and rain
It stands as a reminder of love and pain
Oh, that old oak tree, standing proud and tall
Through the years it's seen it all, heard it all
Through the good times, heartaches, joy, and fear
It stands as a witness, year after year
Yeah, that old oak tree, with roots so deep
A silent guard of memories it keeps
Through every chapter, it's always been
A friend in the forest, a guardian within
