And I heard the news this morning

That our mighty tree had fallen

As I heard the news this morning

That our mighty tree, mighty tree

Had fallen

Yeah

Oh, what a legacy

It's a sound like no other

Immortalized in the music and on the city walls

Rest easy, my brother

And the waves kept rolling

And the people kept showing

'Cause the love was overflowing

As I heard the news this morning

That our mighty tree had fallen

Oh, I heard the news this morning

That our mighty tree, mighty tree

Had fallen

Fallen, yeah

Fallen, fallen

Ooh

Oh, it doesn't make any sense with those left behind

Taking stock on what we had, making up for losing time

All the friends that we meet, ups and downs along the way

One thing is certain, it's in our hearts that you, my friend, will stay

Yeah, yeah, and the waves kept rolling

And the people kept showing

'Cause the love was overflowing

As I heard the news this morning

That our mighty tree had fallen

Oh, I heard the news this morning

That our mighty tree, mighty tree

Had fallen

Fallen, yeah

Fallen, fallen

Yeah, yeah
