The woods are dark and lone and deep
The path so long that we must keep
The tangled vines weave webs below
The thorny stems and branches grow
The thickets shut out light up high
The ravens in the distance cry
The darkness grows at every turn
The vining leaves with poison burn
The only choice is forward go
Through woods so deep and dark and low
The woods are not so dark and deep
If only to the path we keep
The vines protect the earth below
Berries and fruits on branches grow
Our eyes adjust to light up high
Our ears hear ravens call not cry
Our courage grows with every turn
And in the distance now lights burn
Because we chose to forward go
Through woods so deep and dark and low
