lyrics

In a deep, dark forest where secrets are kept
Lived a squirrel so wise, with a heart most adept
Roaming through the trees, searching for a sign
Yearning for a purpose, a destiny to find

One fateful day, as sunlight broke through the shade
The wise squirrel heard a melody, a tune that gently played
Caught in its enchantment, drawn to its sweet sound
The squirrel knew then, his purpose had been found

Oh, the wise squirrel, he sings his song
In the meadow green, where he now belongs
His voice carries in the wind, a soothing lullaby
The ballad of the squirrel, reaching for the sky

With a voice like wind chimes, he practiced day and night
Sharing melodies with the moon's gentle light
The birds stopped their chirping, the bees paused their hum
Entranced by the squirrel's song, the forest had become

A stage for his music, a haven of sound
Where creatures from near and far, gathered all around
Hawks with folded wings, rabbits with twitching nose
Lived in harmony, thanks to the wisdom he chose

Oh, the wise squirrel, he sings his song
In the meadow green, where he now belongs
His voice carries in the wind, a soothing lullaby
The ballad of the squirrel, reaching for the sky
The Ballad of the Wise Squirrel, forever shall fly

Years may pass and seasons change, leaves turn gold and red
But the wise squirrel's song remains, a promise ever said
That within each creature, a melody resides
Waiting to be shared, where true beauty confides.

So listen to the forest, the whisper in the breeze
The Ballad of the Wise Squirrel, carried on the leaves
A reminder to us all, a lesson clear and bright
Find your inner music, and let your own light shine.
