[Intro]
Whispers thread the leaves like rain on skin
A living wood, old as the first wind
[Verse 1]
I am the forest breathing in spilled years
Sparing none of joy, of sorrow, of fears
I carry every step, every sigh, every tear
A chorus inside me, crystal clear and near
[Pre-Chorus]
If you listen close, the branches will tell
The stories that glow and the ones that fell
[Chorus]
Voices in my halls, a thousand dawns collide
Echoes press and pulse, like rain on root and tide
I am the library of lives, both near and far
Growing louder with every memory you are
[Verse 2]
The moss remembers the laughter of a child
The autumn that learned to cradle a kiss so mild
I harbor the drumbeat of marching days gone by
And a whisper of tears from a night when stars cried
[Pre-Chorus]
Carry your courage, your secrets, your pain
I cradle them softly, again and again
[Chorus]
Voices in my halls, a thousand dawns collide
Echoes press and pulse, like rain on root and tide
I am the library of lives, both near and far
Growing louder with every memory you are
[Bridge]
I am listening, I am listening, hear me breathe
A forest chorus, human ache beneath the trees
If I could shed these voices, what would I be?
A single leaf, a patient memory free
[Chorus]
Voices in my halls, a thousand dawns collide
Echoes press and pulse, like rain on root and tide
I am the library of lives, both near and far
Growing louder with every memory you are
[Outro]
When you pass through, tread softly, leave a trace
So I may sleep in velvet hush, not chase
And all the voices fall into a quiet grace
Until the forest remembers you in its embrace
