The Old Oak Tree
(Jason Ringenberg)

This ancient oak was once an acorn
Buried by a squirrel on a frosty morn
When the spring rains fell it began to grow
And that was 200 years ago

Chorus:
The old oak tree is a mighty mighty tree
Growing to the sky so beautifully (chorus 1)
Sheltering the animals peacefully (chorus 2)
Giving us shade so generously (chorus 3)
The old oak tree is a showing you and me
That you can be everything that you want to be
If you try and you work real hard

The birds build nests and the squirrels have homes
The bees build hives full of honeycomb
They do all this in the oak tree tall
The oak has enough room for them all

When this tree was young people had no cars
They rode on horses and they followed stars
They probably camped underneath this oak
And maybe said a prayer full of love and hope
