Tree Of Tule - Daniel Lanois

Traveler I want to break free

Is there something out there for me

Where I go that’s where I stay

At the thousand year old Tree of Tule

If your head is down

And you’ve been hurt

It will bring you home

To touch the earth

Traveler what did you find

Did you lose your heart, courage and mind

Wandering into the dark

I saw fields of fire from a spark

The wind she rose

And carried the flame

To the river

And there washed my name

Wrinkles and rings

My testimony of the time

Under your shadow

You sheltered me in your arms

Standing there in awe of your splendor

Like sweet communion It floods my soul

Traveler I want to be free

Is there something out there for me

Where I go that’s where I stay

At the thousand year old Tree of Tule

If your head is down

And you’ve been hurt It will bring you home

To touch the earth
