Lyrics:

Oh there's a song i know,
A legend of the folk
Who lived in this forest long ago.
Driven with fear
By giants on the rear,
They hid here away from their foes.

The fairy queen, so bright,
Had mercy for their plight
And gave them this magical spell:
If they never ceased
To keep the ways of peace,
With her protection they would --

Hear how the breeze
Keeps on whis'pring,
Keeps telling us
To look to the trees,
Find our power and strength.

Hear how the stream
Keeps on singing,
Keeps telling us
To look to the gleam
Of our glorious dream.

For hundreds of years,
They lived without fears.
When giants attacked,
The men drove them back
Until every last foe disappeared.

Over time,
Pride within their hearts,
Led to greed, and they tore apart.

Marching far from the forest shade,
Spreading forth till they covered
All the land with castles,
Drenching soil with blood from battles
Until we come to the present
Of ladies, lords and peasants.

Hear how the breeze
Keeps on whis'pring,
Keeps telling us
To look to the trees,
Find our power and strength.

Still, those who taste the berries,
Who honor the code of fairies,
Find courage to defend all,
Power to overcome all.

No evil can suppress those,
Defended within the shadows
Of heaven above and nature.
No matter the cry of danger,
We can stand!

Oh there's a song i know,
A legend of the folk
Who lived in this forest long ago.
How will it end?
That, of course, depends.
Will we stand taller than our foes?
