About This Work
Oh, Faithful Oak is a meditation on loyalty, resilience, and the enduring presence of those anchors in life that remain steadfast through changing seasons. Using the image of a great oak tree as both companion and guide, the lyric explores the comfort of permanence in a world marked by uncertainty and change.
Part friendship, part reflection, and part spiritual metaphor, the song celebrates the strength found in deep roots, patient growth, and unwavering support. At its heart, Oh, Faithful Oak reminds us that some of life's greatest blessings are the people, places, and ideals that stand beside us through every storm.

Lyrics
[Verse]
Oh, faithful oak oh friend o’ mine
I’ve known you many years
Stood faithful through the trouble times
Amongst the many tears
Though days may change and years
will pass
I have no want or worry
Come anger first and bitter last
I feel no need to hurry
[Chorus]
Upon your hill, a grassy knoll
You stand so great and tall
Through your strength I found my soul
But in your tears I fall
[Verse 2]
To heaven’s heights your limbs do fly
To catch my dreams so low
Ambitions chased across the sky
Eternal happiness sown
[Prechorus]
Oh steady trunk
Oh endless shade
The haven where my fears have stayed
[Chorus]
Upon your hill, a grassy knoll
You stand so great and tall
Through your strength I found my soul
But in your tears I fall
[Bridge]
Through callous acts and graceful
measure
Stand firm the test of time
That we may spend our lives together
Oh, faithful oak, oh friend o’ mine.
