tony welburn - Looks Can Be Deciving

The mighty oak stood strong and tall
for a hundred years through fire wind and all
no amount of weather could make it fall
its roots are deep and it stands tall
well tonight a cold wind blows
the wind screams through the trees
lighting is dancing in the sky
Tonight says the fire the oak's going to die
well the wind hit the mighty oak with all its might
the oak just moanedknowing this was his last night

lightning shot out of the sky and hit the mighty oak
straight into his trunk splitting his wood
the oak was fighting with all his might
he did not want to die tonight
well here comes the fire like hell on wheels
the closer and closer he got the better he felt
HE hit the mighty oak like a ton of bricks

well old man oak fought and fought not to fall
but with a silent cry he smashed into the ground dead
aint it amazing that a hundred years of beauty
can dissapear in less than a second?
well the whole forest mourned the loss of the mighty oak
once again fire wich can be so beautiful yet so deadly
was once again the victor of nature

fire is beautiful yet deadly
it kills and destroys yet with out it we would all be dead
lighting so loud yet so beautiful is the mother to fire
she flashes and slashes at nature
when she is ready she starts a fire
she is the mother of all evile and good
so deadly yet so beautiful
just remember 'looks can be deciving'
