Lyric

Once in a village, quiet and small

Stood a grand house with a tree so tall

In the garden it grew, reaching for the light

But it wasn't just wood, shining so bright

I realized then, as the seasons would fly

Our family raised it, beneath the wide sky

Even if it fades, or we move far away

That tree is our family, forever it’ll stay

But this old village was silent and gray

Since the great earthquake took the people away

In the stillness of time, we stayed by its side

Holding it up with a family’s pride

We nurtured the branches so they wouldn’t break

Protecting the life for the memories’ sake

Though the streets are all empty, and the world is apart

That tree is a brother, deep in our heart

The years became ten, then a hundred passed by

But the tree is still healthy, touching the sky

It carries our stories in every leaf’s glow

A brotherly bond that continues to grow

The legacy lives in the bark and the vine

Passed down through the ages, yours and mine

Even if it snaps, even if we must roam

That tree is our brother, that tree is our home

Yes, a brother

Forever in our hearts
