The forest of dean lay forgotten
As the world kept building arms
The animals lived for the flowers
And the scent of everlasting spring
One bright summer's day they had gathered
Laughing hard at the beaver's jokes
And they did not lower their voices
Until the wisest of owls cleared its throat
She said love life, enjoy the bliss
Don't let worries interrupt you
When your lover and you are about to kiss
But in time every mind can twist
Brothers and sisters
Beware there's a wolf in your midst
Oh, oh, oh, shine with all your might
Combine your strength to hold the line
Oh, oh, oh, brothers unite
We can afford on no account to lose our light
And the forest fell silent
At the words of the wise old owl
And so they shuffled home, all
With their heads hanging, troubled minds
In september there were outbreaks of violence
October brought fog along
November was the month of remembrance
December stayed way too long
They thought the beast was on the loose
So they hid in their holes out of fear of their doom
I feel sorry for the simple fools
Who would never have guessed that the owl was the wolf
Oh, oh, oh, shine with all your might
Combine your strength to hold the line
Oh, oh, oh, brothers unite
We can afford on no account to lose our light
Light
Light
