Lyrics
Time and tide and wind and weather
Haven't made you change a lot
You're keeping everything together
Skin as thick as ironbark
Standing proud and tall and stately
Strong against the winds of strife
But I've heard you're feeling lately
You've been cut right down by life
Your skin might be as strong as iron
Heartwood might be hard as stone
But one cut and the blood runs red and living
As any blood that ever flowed
The cold hard steel of the axemans blow
The winds of trouble and strife
Won't bring you down for it's well you know
You were born to survive
Everything dead set against you
Roots sunk deep in stony ground
When life takes more than it presents you
Sink those deep roots deeper down
Don't let life keep you from living
Don't let your heart get petrified
Keep that lifeblood red and flowing
Keep your iron soul alive
Circles tell the tale of living
Hard successes hard defeats
Each ring spins it's tale of giving
You're everything that this world needs
The cold hard steel of the axemans blow
The winds of trouble and strife
Won't bring you down for it's well you know
You were born to survive
