Story behind the song
Nice lyrics from Dawn Sinclair, about I guess the nauture of things, the cyle of lfe, and indeed death... everything changes, everything in this material nature is temporary, and matter is in a constant stae of flux, and these bodies that we inhabit are also part of that cycle.
Lyrics
Mighty Oak. Young soldier planted the acorn, when he returned from the war Time sprouted wings and the little seed, came to be much more As back to the Earth a man soul goes So the mighty oak from an acorn grows The oak tree stood so proudly, spread its arms up to the sky And watching from his window, It filled the young boy's eye As back to the Earth a man soul goes So the mighty oak from an acorn grows A home for hoarding squirrels, a place for hide and seek Goal post or a cricket stump, but not for the boy grown weak As back to the Earth a man soul goes So the mighty oak from an acorn grows And when the golden oak leaves, would tumble to the ground Children would bury themselves, under the mound As back to the Earth a man soul goes So the mighty oak from an acorn grows Oak tree stood one hundred years, then suddenly was no more Trunk and limbs made coffins, for a man, his dreams and more As back to the Earth a man soul goes, So the mighty oak from an acorn grows

Great song at all, brings some Jethro Tull feeling too! Bass is yours anyway, but vocal arrangement and creating harmonies are noticeable skills of you.
