The spirit of the trees comes out at night 

The universe is charged and wondrous
Feel the force that floats among us
Resist the anger hate and greed
Only take the love you need

The spirit of the trees comes out at night
Dogs and children see the hidden light


Dynasties will rise and fall
Nothing's written on the wall
Seeking truth out day by day
We stagger on our wanting way

The spirit of the trees comes out at night
Dogs and children see the hidden light


Every breath is blessed and free
Share the joy and dignity
Love and kindness never cease
Live with hope and work for peace

The spirit of the trees comes out at night
Dogs and children see the hidden light
