[Verse]
A lonesome cabin on a hill so high
Where the whispered pines meet the endless sky
A boy once dreamed by the candle's glow
Of the world beyond the valley below
[Verse 2]
His father’s boots
Worn and torn by time
Carried the weight of a life hard to climb
With calloused hands
He worked the land
While the boy’s heart wandered like desert sand
[Chorus]
Oh
The whispered pines
They sing so low
Secrets of the wind
Tales of long ago
Every rustling leaf
Every shadowed stone
Speaks of dreams lost and roads unknown
[Verse 3]
The boy grew strong
But his heart grew wild
The open road called the farmer’s child
He left the hill
The cabin
The stream
Chasing the stars of a far-off dream
[Verse 4]
But the city lights
They burned too bright
And drowned the stars in the velvet night
He felt the weight of a hollow pride
And the whispered pines began to chide
[Bridge]
Years went by
And the boy turned man
Found himself back where his life began
With weary steps
He climbed that hill
And the pines whispered
They knew him still
