Lyrics

[Intro]
La lai la lai, oh-oh-oh
(Mmmm, ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 1]
I walk between the ancient trees today
Their branches reach to hold me as I pray
The silver leaves still dance the way they did
When I was young and running through this place
[Pre-chorus]
La lai la lai, the branches sway
(Oh-oh-oh, the branches sway)
[Chorus]
The trees remember what we cannot say
The trees remember every passing day
The trees remember, though we're far away
The trees remember, and they make me stay
[Verse 2]
My grandmother would gather what they gave
The fruit we'd press together, warm and brave
She'd sing the songs her mother used to know
While working in the grove till day would fade
[Pre-chorus]
La lai la lai, the old songs play
(Oh-oh-oh, the old songs play)
[Chorus]
The trees remember what we cannot say
The trees remember every passing day
The trees remember, though we're far away
The trees remember, and they make me stay
[Bridge]
Now when I touch these weathered stones
And feel the earth beneath my feet
I know that I am not alone
These roots run deeper than I see
[Pre-chorus]
La lai la lai, the earth still holds
(Oh-oh-oh, the earth still holds)
[Chorus]
The trees remember what we cannot say
The trees remember every passing day
The trees remember, though we're far away
The trees remember, and they make me stay
[Outro]
The trees remember
(The trees remember)
The trees remember
La lai la lai...
