Through fire light and dark the winter called
Come greet an early morning with the frost upon the land
A halo binds the moon with ice crystals in the air
And skeletons of trees like guardians do stand
The harvest is long over and we've passed through Samhain's gate
The misty woods are sleeping, for Bridhe's sweet kiss they wait
And the wind it cuts like a knife, for the bones of Jack Frost keens
And the Winter King will soon bow down to the champion of the green
And the lord of the woodland is waiting in the leaves
Through the forest and the hedgerows the song of life he weaves
With his feet deep in the soil he watches over the greenwood
He's a messenger from nature this ancient wise god
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you
There's poetry in the breezes that tell of things to come
With dancing corn and swaying wheat beneath the summer sun
Lay down among the blossoms sacred to the flower bride
Lost in scented fields where meadowsweet runs wild
Lady of the lakes and fields, lady of the woods
I feel your verdant energy pulsing through my blood
Your silver skin of bark and moss upon your thighs
With Ivy twirls and briar curls you watch with hidden eyes
Can you tell the green man is waiting in the leaves
Through the forest and the hedgerows the song of life he weaves
With his feet deep in the soil he watches over the greenwood
He's a messenger from nature, this ancient wise god
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you

Strength of Oak and sage of Yew, Rowan, Ash and Thorn
The summer king has claimed his bride and all will be reborn
The spirit of the wildwood calls, in the language of the trees
Protect the woodlands of the earth is the forest gods' decree
For without the essence of the green our world can never be
Drawing breath around us from the sun into the leaves
From soil and shoot, stem and root, by leaf and bark and limb
We keep alive the wisdom of the Lord and Lady Green
And the Wildman of the woodland is watching from the leaves
Through the forest and the hedgerows the song of life he weaves
With his feet deep in the soil he watches over the greenwood
He's a messenger from nature, this ancient wise god
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you
Hey oh it's the green man Jack
Running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back
From where the spirit of the green will take you
Where the spirit of the green will take you
Spirit of the green will take you
