Old Man Tree Songtext / Lyric

I met a man who was a tree

Did I see him or he see me?

Standing there majestically

Tree and me...



The smell of sun on autumn leaves

He said take good care of all you see

Praise the earth down on your knees

That's what the old man sang to me



He sang

Heya Heya Heya

Heya Heya heya

Hey Hey Heya Heya

Heya Hey



Life left you a broken boy, man

To fight the war an angry young man

Now it's time to be a shaman

Take these wings and learn to fly man






I lost my grip and took a trip

On a magic mushroom rocket ship

Rode the waves and didn't flip

The rainbow-flavoured astral trip



Heya Heya Heya

Heya Heya heya

Hey Hey Heya Heya

Heya Hey



The words they flow like melody

Through gnarly old man/tree and me

From root to bone from him to me

Just like the river to the sea

Now I am he as tree is me

And I'm not here and so is he

'Cause in my mind I'm always free

Just like tree that sang to me



Heya Heya Heya

Heya Heya heya

Hey Hey Heya Heya

Heya Hey



The first shall never be the last

There is no future and no past

Put brother Flame to sister Grass

Let's celebrate the Pagan mass



Heya Heya Heya

Heya Heya heya

Hey Hey Heya Heya

Heya Hey



The words they flow like melody

Through gnarly old man/tree and me

From root to bone from him to me

Just like the river to the sea

Now I am he as tree is me

And I'm not here and so is he

'Cause in my mind I'm always free

Just like tree that sang to me



Heya Heya Heya

Heya Heya heya

Hey Hey Heya Heya

Heya Hey
