At the Center: A Song for the World Tree
by: Rev. Melissa Burchfield, ADF Master Bard

Intro: C  F  G  C

Am             Dm              G                  C
      Sing to the Waters, the ever-flowing Sea
F                  C              G
     Sing to the Fire in the Sky
Am                  Dm              G                               C
     Sing to the Waters that flow through you and me
F                     Dm                     Esus               E(maj)
     Sing to the Fire on high that crackles merrily

C             F             G                        Am
     At the center, a spark falls to the sea
F              C                            G
     Boiling Seas and Roaring Waves
C             F                     G                       Am
     At the Center, grows forth the Sacred Tree
               F                                    C 
From the misty depths where the Fire meets Sea
G                         Am
Reaching for the sky
       F                   C             G  C       F   G   C  
Oh, Sacred Tree, grow within me

Sing to the Waters, surrounding all the Land
Sing the Land on which we stand
Sing to the Waters, sing to the Sky above
Sing to the Land, The Earth, The Mother of All
in fullness, joy, and love

At the Center, where Ocean meets the Land
Where misty shapes dance on the breeze
At the Center, the place where life began
By Holy Well, by Fire on High,
By Earth beneath our feet
       F                   C                  G           Am 
Oh, Sacred Tree, hold fast the ways between
       F                   C      G        C          F    G    C      

Oh, Sacred Tree, grow within me
