[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Warm Organ Pad, Light Acoustic Strum, Sub Bass Pulse]
[Spoken Vocal, playful]
(Knock, Knock)
Knock on wood
(We should)
Stand up tall
(Not all fall)
[Percussion taps in like fingers on bark]
[Verse 1]
Feel that grain
(Rings of time)
Every scar
(A climbing line)
Cambium layer
(Life between)
What we cut
(We’ve rarely seen)
[Pre-Chorus]
Roots below
(Intertwined)
Fungal threads
(Shared design)
[Chorus]
Rooted good
(We would)
Hold the ground
(Stand our hood)
Branch by branch
(Understood)
Life is better
(When we wood)
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Riff — rhythmic, percussive]
[Bass Walk — earthy groove]
[Short Sax Fill]
(Knock, Knock)
[Verse 2]
Talk to a maple
(Sap runs slow)
Ask a cedar
(What winds know)
Carbon keeper
(Leaf by leaf)
Quiet worker
(Beyond belief)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
(Knock, Knock)
[Percussion Drops to Hand Drums + Sub Bass]
Photosynthesis
(Light to bread)
Breathing out
(What we said)
Take our waste
(Give us air)
Silent partner
(Always there)
[Build: Snare March + Organ Stabs]
[Chorus – Stronger]
Rooted good
(We would)
Make it clear
(As we should)
Climb the canopy
(If we could)
Future grows
(When we wood)
[Bridge 2 – Call and Response]
(Knock, Knock)
Knock on wood!
(We could!)
Plant it back!
(Exact!)
Cut one down?
(Turn around!)
Two go up!
(Grow the crown!)
Knock! Knock!
[Saxophone Solo — joyful, upward spirals]
[Guitar Solo — bright, ascending]
[Final Chorus – Expansive]
Misunderstood
(I wood)
Now it’s clear
(What we hold dear)
Forest rising
(Neighborhood)
Stronger together
(As we wood)
[Outro]
[Music drops to Acoustic + Soft Organ]
Ring by ring
(Time is told)
Young and green
(Ancient old)
Climb the branch
(Feel the climb)
Rooted deep
(We’ll be fine)
[Spoken, smiling]
(Knock, Knock)
Knock on wood.
(We should.)
[Fade on gentle wind through leaves + sustained organ chord]
