The words at the end, borrowed from the Bengali mystic Tagore, were our starting point: “Be still my heart - the great trees are prayers.” We worked backwards from there, imagining words that the trees
themselves would be singing.

lyrics

Blessed with Light
Praised be the One
Blessed with Life
Praised be the One
Blessed with Love
Praised be the One
Blessed with Peace

Rooted in Love
Showered in Rays
Each drop of Rain
Sing we your Praise

Be Still My Heart
The Great Trees Are Prayers
