I was born in the strangest time I had no roots that I could find People living in rows and lines Started me digging
Say, where oh where’s the forgotten tree The many branches of humanity Whose roots come down to you and me Why is it hidden?
So I search the Earth and I search the Sky Beyond the shores and borderlines From the Andes up to the Northern Rockies I will not stop ‘til I find me the Mother Tree
Well our tongues were tied and our hands were bound People robbed of common ground When the new boss came to town The old ways started dying
I looked for clues but what I heard Was truth twisted, history blurred Divide the people, conquer the world But the tree survived
So I search the Earth and I search the Sky Beyond the shores and borderlines From the Highlands to the Aegean Sea No I will not stop, I will not stop
Yeah, I search the Earth and I search the Sky Beyond the shores and borderlines I will cross the Nile to the Kalahari I will not stop ‘til I find me the Mother Tree
From the Himalayas to Ayers Rock I’m scaling the walls and I’m picking the locks And I’m discovering that each of us Came from the Indigenous
Where oh where is the Mother Tree Gonna hunt the mystery From the Northern Lights to the Caspian Sea Why is it hidden?
Gonna find that magic wood Bring the seeds back home for good To plant in my old neighborhood I feel it, I feel it coming
So I search the Earth and I search the Sky Beyond the shores and borderlines Going up the Indus and down the Yangtze I will not stop, I will not stop
Yeah, I search the Earth and I search the Sky Beyond the shores and borderlines I will sail the Shannon in search of thee And I will not stop ‘til I find me the Mother Tree
From the Yucatan I’m on my way To Hokkaido and Spirits Bay…. (Note: Ayres Rock is also known as Uluru)
