Verse

A storm came rolling off the plain

(rolling in)

It flattened fences, bent the grain

I felt the gusts against my stem

(let them lean)

I bowed down low and outlasted them

When it had passed I raised my head

Still growing where the gale had fled

(greener instead)

Hook

We bend, we don't break

(reeds by the lake)

Wind can howl and ground can quake

(and we wake)

We tilt, then we stay

(anchored here)

Roots dig deeper in the clay

Verse

The rumours hissed along the bank

(let them talk)

I let them pass, the water drank

They want a snap, they want a crack

(no crack)

I give a little, then spring back

My grip gets stronger when it blows

(ask the willows)

That's something only bending knows

Breakdown

Hook

Now the wind has lost its bite

(gone from sight)

Rows of reeds stand tall in light

A thousand bends and not one snap

(clap) (clap)

That's the song inside the sap
