Lyrics for Song: Story Of An Oak Tree
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Yoko Ono
I walked through the park and saw a young oak tree growing,
Growing beside an old bark hit by lightning.
I asked the young tree how he wished to be,
He shook his leaves and sung to me:
I'm a strong oak tree like my father used to be,
Though deep in my heart, the memory's still there.
The sky is clearer now and the wind is fair,
The world is beautiful and I like it out here.
When I hear thunder, I think of my father,
He taughtme about life, that was when I was five.
It's true that some days are more than grey,
But we learn to get by day by day.
I'm a strong oak tree like my father used to be,
Though deep in my heart, the memory's still there.
The sky is clearer now and the wind is fair,
The world is beautiful and I like it out here.

Story Of An Oak Tree
Yoko Ono's 'Story Of An Oak Tree' stands as a poignant piece within her expansive catalog of conceptual and performance-based works. Rooted in the tradition of avant-garde art music, the track exemplifies her commitment to minimalism and direct emotional expression. Often associated with her solo output following the dissolution of The Plastic Ono Band, the song reflects her deep engagement with nature imagery and themes of resilience. As a solo artist, Ono frequently utilized simple instrumentation to highlight the lyrical content and the philosophical underpinnings of her compositions. This recording captures a moment in her prolific career where she continued to explore the boundaries between spoken word, music, and visual art, maintaining a distinct voice that resonates with listeners seeking introspective and unadorned musical experiences. |
