Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found a bench by the path
Under the oak’s long arms
Sun through the leaves in halves
Falling soft on my book
The grass leaned slow in the breeze
A jogger passed, then was gone
I let the hours move easy
With your words in my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
And the world kept spinning
Far past the pond
But here in the shade
I was holding on
[Chorus]
Under the oak tree
I can breathe easy
Under the oak tree
Let the day leave me
Page by page
Everything slows down
Under the oak tree
I’m nowhere else now
(under the oak tree)
[Verse 2]
A dog with muddy paws
Paused to sniff at my shoes
A little kid laughed nearby
Chasing a bright red ball
I turned another page
And the sparrows came close
Like they wanted to hear
What the quiet knew
[Pre-Chorus]
And the sky stayed open
Blue and still
I had all I needed
Right here, right still
[Chorus]
Under the oak tree
I can breathe easy
Under the oak tree
Let the day leave me
Page by page
Everything slows down
Under the oak tree
I’m nowhere else now
(under the oak tree)
[Bridge]
No rush in the branches
No pull in my chest
Just the shade on my shoulders
And the book I love best
If peace has a picture
It looks like this scene
One hand on the paper
One foot in the green
[Final Chorus]
Under the oak tree
I can breathe easy
Under the oak tree
Let the day leave me
Page by page
Everything slows down
Under the oak tree
I’m nowhere else now
(under the oak tree)
Under the oak tree
I can breathe easy

Indie-folk ballad with a gentle swaying 6/8 feel, brushed acoustic guitar, soft upright bass, and light hand percussion; verse stays intimate and close-mic, pre-chorus opens with harmony pads and a rising cello line, chorus blooms with stacked vocals and a hummed hook, bridge drops to voice and guitar before a final lift. Add feather-light wind chimes between phrases, a page-turn foley accent, and a warm wide mix with soft room glow., reading
