Shades of evergreen rush through me
Shades of permanence
Of lasting theme
Changing are the scenes and seasons
Chains of wilting and withering
Stolen homes and rivalry
And when the stream breaks
Let my roots grow deeper still
When the winter wind blows
Let my leaf not wither
Higher I reach
Branches tall and strong
'Cause nothing outlasts
This Rock I live on
Traits emerge in systems senile
Trading worriments
And building steam
There are built below me structures steady and
Bleakness storming everywhere but where I am
Everywhere but where I am
And when the stream breaks
Let my roots grow deeper still
When the winter wind blows
Let my leaf not wither
Higher I reach
Branches tall and strong
'Cause nothing outlasts
This Rock I live on
