The Melody Of A Fallen Tree
Windsor For The Derby Lyrics

Underneath the leaves where the blackbirds turn blue
In a hidden place where no one expects, I find myself listening to the sound of nature.

If there's room for me
I belong in this world, therefore I must find my place in it.

There's room for you
And if there's a place for me, it means there is also room for you.

Place your ear to the ground, you hear a voice
If we listen carefully to our surroundings, we can hear the world speaking to us.

It sings this song
The world has its own melody and it sings it to us constantly.

The whole night long
It never stops, not even when we sleep.

I am the melody of the fallen tree
Sometimes, even the most tragic events can create something beautiful.

What comes between
However, there are always obstacles that can prevent us from seeing the beauty in the world.

You and me
We are both affected by these obstacles in life.

So sadly transient , you'd never guess
Life is so fleeting that we often don't realize its value until it's too late.

It could ever be
We don't expect the beauty of life to be so transitory.

So easy to see
Yet, the beauty of life is all around us if we only take the time to notice it.

Across a frozen field you hear a call
Even in the hardest of times, there is always hope and something that can make us move forward.

With the urgency
This hope is so important that we must not take it for granted.

Of the boiling sea
It's a force that can move us and change us as the ocean does through its tides.

All your hopes and dreams they rise and fall
Our dreams and hopes are what give us direction and meaning, but they too can be fragile.

Secretly
These dreams are often kept within our hearts and we must nurture them until they come to fruition.

A cacophony
Life can be messy and chaotic at times, but we must embrace it all.

The life and brutality
The duality of life can be beautiful and cruel at the same time.

They all turn on me
But ultimately, we are the ones responsible for our own lives.

You hope to someday see
Even though the future is uncertain, we always harbor hope for a better tomorrow.

Patiently
We wait for our dreams to come true, knowing that it may take time and effort.

So sadly obvious, you'd never guess
The answers to life's questions are often right in front of us, yet we don't see them.

It could ever be
We often underestimate the simplicity of life and how valuable it can be.

So hard to see
We struggle to see the big picture, especially when we get caught up in our own problems.
