Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been watching you beneath this tree
As you sit so still and breathe
The morning light breaks through the leaves
While the world around you seems to freeze
I wonder what you're searching for
As days turn into weeks and more
[Chorus]
Forty days beneath the ancient tree
I see you changing gradually
Your presence teaches more than words
The truth that's always gone unheard
[Verse 2]
The rain falls down but you stay still
Your mind ascending past life's hill
I bring you water, watch you pray
But you've already found your way
Beyond the things that hold us here
To something pure and crystal clear
[Chorus]
Forty days beneath the ancient tree
I see you changing gradually
Your presence teaches more than words
The truth that's always gone unheard
[Bridge]
[Buddhist chant: Om mani padme hum]
I feel the change within me too
As I keep my vigil here with you
Something's breaking like the dawn
All the questions, fears are gone
Ohhhhh.... (ahhhh....)
[Verse 3]
Now I understand why you stayed
Through sun and storm, you weren't afraid
Your eyes have opened, mine have too
The answer's been here, tried and true
In letting go, we truly find
The peace that lives in heart and mind
[Chorus]
Forty days beneath the ancient tree
I see you changing gradually
Your presence teaches more than words
The truth that's always gone unheard
[Outro]
(Your presence teaches more than words...)
(The truth that's always gone unheard...)
