• The olive tree
• Instrumental version

Under the shade of an olive tree

I scatter ashes set spirits free

The ashes like snowflakes gently fall

As earthly bonds release their call

A journey of life now come to rest

A solemn moment in nature's nest

For every tear shed for every sigh

The olive tree stands reaching the sky

And in its shade I find solace and peace

As memories forever increase

A journey of life now come to rest

A solemn moment in nature's nest

A loving tribute for hearts that know

That even in ashes love remains

Whispered prayers carried on the breeze

As memories dance among the leaves

Under the shade of an olive tree

I scatter ashes set spirits free
