Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tree That Stands Alone (Country Gentlemen
I've listened to a couple of sound samples, and transcribed this:

…and there'll be no one close by to lean on.
When you stand apart from all the crowd,
You'll have much broader vision all around,
And you won't tend to break when troubles come,
If down deep you know your heart is sound.

[CHORUS?] A tree that stands alone cannot hide from wind and storm,
But its roots have room to grow, and its branches of beauty unfold.

If you're bound to live your life alone,
Stand your ground and stand oak-tree strong….
