Colin Bell/ Song of the Nightingale



	'Twas the nightingale
	Though she seemed so frail
	That sang to the hearts of the souls in the forest
	Was the heart of the forest
	For she was part of the forest

	"Don`t you know I can kill
	And do as I will"
	The king raged inside his walls
	But the 'gale kept calm
	While her heart was warm
	For she heard the song in the forest
	As the wind was bringing
	Her song - they were singing -
	The hearts of the souls in the forest



	And in apathy
	The king let her free
	Warned her not to sing to the forest
	But on lives the song
	Growing only more strong
	As long as hearts beat in the forest

	Now 'gain she was free
	'Twas a jubilee
	In the hearts of the souls of the forest
	As they heard once again
	The song of freedom and pain
	That`s always been sung in the forest
	Every heart wants to be
	Alive and free
	From fear in the midst of the forest
	But now she could see
	That the greatest threat
	That can yet be had
	To the song and the hearts in the forest
	Are not cages of a king
	Nor the silence they can bring
	For the song will still live on
	Along with the souls in the forest
