I Heard A Forest Playing - Johnny Mathis
I heard a forest praying
The trees were cold and bare
What was the forest praying
Let me repeat their prayer
Trees make a playground for children
Trees hide a lovers lane
Shelter the tired and the weary
Bringing them hope again
Man turned the fields and the forest
Into a battlefield grim
Men took a tree an innocent tree
And made a cross for him
I heard a forest praying
I heard the heavens weep
Just as the dawn was breaking
And night was gone to sleep
