Beside the Old Tree Lyrics

Beside The Old Tree
Music: traditional, Lyrics: Berk Demiray
Arr.: Dhalia
The trompets of war so far in the distance
Too far to know that danger remains
Landmines were buried beside the soldiers
Covered by grassy land

Don't play beside the old mighty tree
Watch every step you take - you can't see
Landmines still buried under the surface
Ready to take your life

Now after the war they try to restore
To rebuild the town there's hope in their hearts
Building a future so life continues
But mines are everywhere
Don't play beside the old mighty tree
Watch every step you take - you can't see
Landmines still buried under the surface
Ready to take your life

Springtime has come one year has passed
And nature she wears a wonderful dress
Strangers who never asked what has happened
Won't know, can't even guess
Don't play beside the old mighty tree
Watch every step you take - you can't see
Landmines still buried under the surface
Ready to take your life

Stars in the sky and no one is out
No piercing cry will disturb the night
Dream on good children, dream of the day
When you'll be in peace outside

You'll play beside the old mighty tree
And you will dance around, you'll be free
To run through the fields and climb up the hills
When danger has left our town
