This is a powerful Green Man song

The Green Man
Words & Music: Steve Thomason
Chorus:
Til the Green Man walk
s again
Til the Green man walks again
Bird and beast will sing no more
Til the Green Man walks again
1.
Once the earth was fair and fine once the earth was whole
Soft rain fell and rivers ran, a web of life unfolds
Where now are the rivers, where the teem
ing seas?
Where now is the web of life, torn by mankind's greed?
2.
Seasons came and seasons went, cycles of the earth
Autumn brought the harvest, springtime brought rebirth
Mankind honoured nature, old gods turned the wheel
Time enough for friendship, ti
me enough to heal
3.
Yes once man walked with nature part of nature's plan
'Til he stole the reins of power; at the centre, man
Mankind now the conqueror covets all he can touch
Touches all of nature turning her to dust
4.
But deep beneath the surface se
asons they still pass
Patience waits forever, tyrants fall at last
Earth herself far older, wisdom like the sea,
Time will wash away the wounds setting nature free
5.
When the Green Man walks again
When the Green man walks again
Bird and beast will sing o
nce more
When the Green Man walks again
