You stand so tall
and you stand so proud
You stand alone like no one else around
You pay no heed to the
passage of time
You just hold your ground
in the here and now
And you don't ask why
You stand between the road
An d the spring -fed creek
You reach for the sun
While your roots drink tea
You watch the seasons come
And the seasons go
You, oh Scotch Pine,
you're a friend of mine
You're a kindred soul
You're a kindred soul,
like a brother true
You don't judge me, no,
and I don't judge you
You give me strength to stand,
when the world turn s cold
You, oh Scotch Pine,
you're a friend of mine
You're a kindred soul
Well, you don't speak words,
but you say so much
You say, take each day as it comes
You say, bow your head
when the north wind blows
Then lift it high in the new sunshine,
your kindred soul
You're a kindred soul
Like a brother true
You don't judge me
No, and I don't judge you
You gave me strength to stand
When the world turns cold
You, oh scotch pine
You're a friend of mine
You're a kindred soul
So when my time comes to lay me dead
Rest these bones beneath your boughs
I wanna hear the wind
through your branches whine
A kindred soul lies here below,
a good friend of mine
You're a kindred soul,
like a brother true
You don't judge me, no,
but I don't judge you
You give me strength to stand
when the world turns cold
You, oh Scotch Pine,
you're a friend of mine,
you're a kindred soul
You, oh Scotch Pine,
you're a friend of mine,
you're a kindred soul you
