Kira Willey Kings & Queens of the Forest lyrics

Long before these towns and buildings were here when these great woods were still young
even though our rings were few back then
we were here, we were here
and the sun looked down and smiled on us and the rain came as rain will
our trunks grew wide, our bark grew thick we were here, we were here
CHORUS
We are the kings and queens of the forest we are strong
we belong to the earth
We are the kings and queens of the forest we are strong
and the earth belongs to us
and now we are the life of these woods we are home to countless creatures for the beetles, bears, and spotted owls we are here, we are here

and we help the air stay clean for you and we hold the soil fast
and the birds play in our canopy above we are here, we are here
CHORUS
and if you will help take care of us
and keep us safe from harm
then when your children run in these woods we'll be here, we'll be here
CHORUS (2x)
