Spiritual Redwoods

The Redwoods are special indeed When trying to understand the trees Massive in both girth and height The gentle giants of the woods When trying to understand the trees They’re very spiritual in nature The gentle giants of the woods They totally captivate the mind They’re very spiritual in nature Massive in both girth and height They totally captivate the mind The Redwoods are special indeed For Matt's contest
