Lyrics:

There beneath the willow tree, I learned a lot about the way of things
I learned that everything has breath inside (the wind, the leaves, the wind, the leaves)
They were pointing ever east to see the ever-turning eon cease
Their wills were ever bent on waiting with all their might
I know, I know this (I know, I know)
There is beauty in the way of things

There beyond the palisade, I saw the morning lead a cavalcade
They made a marvel of a display, and it made me cry, "O lai" (o lai, o lai)
O lai, Lord, there is beauty in the way of things
