[Verse]
G Am C G
I will go, to where this river goes
G Am C G
I will walk, to where the big trees grow
G Am C G
oh to where yet, I do not know
G Am C G
But I trust, in this rivers flow
G Am C G
And in the end, time, time will show
[Chorus]

Three hundred years of stillness

Three hundred years of calm witness

Where, where next, speak, speak these trees
G Am C G
I dont yet know, Im just following my feet
