May the snow fall gently upon your shoulders, may the north wind rock you to sleep. May the sun shine cold and bright upon the ground, and may your seedlings gently keep. For now is the time of the Holly King, And all the longest night, He keeps his vigil for the dawn To bring back the sun kings light. Chorus Softly slumbers the mighty oak, the ash and aspen too, but in their dreams of ever green, you'll find they dream of you.... The air is filled with falling stars Slow and soft onto the ground Dance the a dance of footprints As life slumbers all around Drink well the wine of winter Let tales of old be sung As Frau Hulda makes her bed The longest night's begun Chorus Softly slumbers the mighty oak, the ash and aspen too, but in their dreams of ever green, you'll find they dream of you... Bridge Hooves fall silent As the horned one stalks the night Leading home the wayward Through the storms of silver white Bring forth the light.... And as the candle's burning down The dawn climbs to the sky The Holly King lays down his crown With a worn and gentle smile He know his time will come again For when the wind blown cold And the world falls asleep once more In winter's bitter hold Chorus Softly slumbers the mighty oak, the ash and aspen too, but in their dreams of ever green, you'll find they dream of you....

You're not the girl you used to be There's so much you wish to see But the one thing you cannot see Is me... I'm not the man you knew But somehow I still know you And in the end, you can't deny you know me, too Chorus: We grow, we change But the people that we were are still there We grow we change But the people that we will be are waiting Months and seasons, sun and rain Snow falls down on the old and past Another face, another laugh, another smile What you leave behind is what will last Nothing’s quite the same One day I’ll find what I need But I know that down that road I won’t forget when he was me Chorus We grow, we change But the people that we were are still there We grow we change But the people that we will be are waiting Bridge: I'll never be the one to walk away I'll make a difference if there's one to make And if there's not, I'll do a lot to make you see that maybe everything will be ok Time is our greatest teacher but it can change So I try not to put much stock certain things Like destiny Or prophecy, I'm still every man I've ever been Chorus We grow, we change But the people that we were are still there We grow we change But the people that we will be are waiting

Chorus: I’m a Child of the Lib’ry, it made me who I am, It taught me about freedom and the fellowship of Man A sea of story waits for you inside the lib’ry door, Don’t say we can’t afford it any more The Lib’ry’s where I made some friends I’ve known my whole life through The Walkers and the Blacketts and the Pevensies so true Simp the canine cannonball, Galadriel the fair. The daughter of a pirate king and Paddington the Bear Chorus: I’m a Child of the Lib’ry, it made me who I am, It taught me about freedom and the fellowship of Man A sea of story waits for you inside the lib’ry door, Don’t say we can’t afford it any more I’ve travelled South with Shackleton and all his gallant crew And thorough the African interior that Mary Kingsley knew I rode the trackless prairie where bison used to roam I’ve flown around the universe, not half an hour from home. Chorus: I’m a Child of the Lib’ry, it made me who I am, It taught me about freedom and the fellowship of Man A sea of story waits for you inside the lib’ry door, Don’t say we can’t afford it any more And as I grew the Lib’ry fed my curiosity, All there for the asking, and all of it for free. It’s there I found the stories I couldn’t find at home It’s where I learned I was myself and not my father’s clone. Chorus: I’m a Child of the Lib’ry, it made me who I am, It taught me about freedom and the fellowship of Man A sea of story waits for you inside the lib’ry door, Don’t say we can’t afford it any more So make friends with your library, don’t let it fade away. Teach your kids the lib’ry’s where you go on Saturday. Don’t let the bastards tell you they will cost too much to save While they’re shoveling your taxes down the hole the bankers made Alt. Chorus: So make a stand for the lib’ry. Stand up while you can Stand up for your freedom. Stand for your fellow man. Ignorance is never bliss, don’t close the lib’ry door. For the lib’ry lost is lost forever more. Chorus: I’m a Child of the Lib’ry, it made me who I am, It taught me about freedom and the fellowship of Man A sea of story waits for you inside the lib’ry door, Don’t say we can’t afford it any more For the lib’ry lost is lost forever more Dm G C

Denali 02:23
Welcome back, Old One Never forgotten, your name is known We give back our sacred oath To keep you, and you have kept us (all along) Chorus: Denali, you watched us grow To challenge the moon and the stars Denali, you will be here When all of our names are forgotten Through the trees Calling me Denali We don’t conquer you Centuries, you’ve watched by and by Feeling us climb as we reach for the sky Keep our dreams and the forest alive No hand of man can tame you Chorus: Denali, you watched us grow To challenge the moon and the stars Denali, you will be here When all of our names are forgotten Through the trees Calling me Denali We don’t conquer you

My young love said to me, my mother won´t mind And my father won´t slight you for your lack of kine, And she stepped away from me and this she did say, It will not be long love ´til our wedding day. She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair, And fondly I watched her move here and move there, Then she went her way homeward with one star awake, As the swan in the evening moves over the lake. The people were saying no two were e´er wed, But one has a sorrow that never was said, And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear, And that was the last that I saw of my dear. I dreamt it last night that my young love came in, So softly she entered her feet made no din, She came close beside me and this she did say, It will not be long love ´til our wedding day.
