Once upon a tree an apple grew from bud unfurled
Once upon a green-leaf tree its tune turned gold and fell
Where winter, like a lonesome minstrel strums its citadel
Once upon a green-leaf tree its tune turned gold and fell
Where winter, like a lonesome minstrel strums its citadel
Once upon a tree wee birdie learned to sing and fly
Once upon a tree a swing, a wind-song lullaby
Once upon a tree a swing, a wind-song lullaby
Once upon a tree, a pantry filled with nuts and such
Nature’s wildlife castles clothed and stripped beneath her
touch
Once upon a tree redemption’s misery ran red
Once upon a tree salvation’s sacrifice was bled
Once upon a tree a king laid down his life and then
Became, for all humanity the Way into heaven
