A seed buried deep in the earth
No noise, no sound, no fuss, no mirth
But under the soil, magic is at play
A life force that will show the way
In silence, the seed begins to sprout
Reaching for light, it won't be without
Slowly but surely, it grows with care
A quiet strength, it's ready to bear
A tree stands tall, proud and strong
A symphony of beauty, a life-long song
But when it falls, the earth does shake
A mighty noise, it makes us wake
Destruction has its way, loud and clear
But creation is silent, nothing to fear
So grow your roots, deep and strong
In silence, let your spirit belong
For the power of silence is immense
A force that can create without pretense
So grow silently, with grace and ease
And you'll stand tall, among the trees.
