Land of the Trees

In the land of the trees
Moon looks down on the leaves
Shining bright through the night
In the land of the trees
In the land of the trees
The morning sun rises high
Dancing beams light the sky
Creatures stir and come to life
In the land of the trees
In the land of the trees
High above at the dawn of day
Flocks of swallows swoop and play
Bursts of song fill the air
In the land of the trees
In the land of the trees
The forest floor is lush and green
With tall oak trees and singing streams
The wind it whistles through the leaves
In the land of the trees
In the land of the trees

What sound do twigs make in the forest?
What sound do twigs make in the forest?
And we'll listen close and we will hear
The sound that fills the air
What sound do pinecones make in the forest?
What sound do pinecones make in the forest?
And we'll listen close and we will hear
The sound that fills the air
What sound do stones make in the forest?
What sound do stones make in the forest?
And we'll listen close and we will hear
The sound that fills the air
What sound do feathers make in the forest?
What sound do feathers make in the forest?
And we'll listen close and we will hear
The sound that fills the air

We're on our way to Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Who will we meet in Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
We're on our way to Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Who will we meet in Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Sorley the snail who wiggles in his shell...
Faoláin the frog who jumps over logs...
Ornaith the owl who hides in the tree...
Oh no! We're going the wrong way! It's this way!
We're on our way to Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Who will we meet in Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
We're on our way to Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Who will we meet in Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Watch out for the sticky mud! Ughh!
We're on our way to Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Who will we meet in Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Shhhh don't wake the bats!
We're on our way to Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Who will we meet in Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Oh no, we woke the bats, run!
We're on our way to Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Who will we meet in Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
We're on our way to Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Who will we meet in Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
We have arrived at Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away
Who will we meet in Whistleberry Forest
Over the hills and far away

I leave silver trails wherever I go
I leave silver trails wherever I go
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
I trace a shiny map, my path it shows
I trace a shiny map, my path it shows
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
In the morning sun, my trails they glow
In the morning sun, my trails they glow
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
When it rains inside my shell I go
When it rains inside my shell I go
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
Around the quiet tree, my trails they go
Around the quiet tree, my trails they go
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
Shiny silver, shiny silver, slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow, slow

Ornaith in the old oak tree
Hiding there behind the leaves
Can you hear her sing her song?
Won't you come and sing along!
She sings... [whistles]
Ornaith in the old oak tree
Hiding there behind the leaves
Can you hear her sing her song?
Won't you come and sing along!
She sings...
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
[Instrumental]
Ornaith in the old oak tree
Hiding there behind the leaves
Can you hear her sing her song?
Won't you come and sing along!
She sings...
Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo
Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo
Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo
Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo
Ornaith in the old oak tree
Hiding there behind the leaves
Can you hear her sing her song?
Won't you come and sing along!
She sings...
