Willow trees bend but I won't bend I will never lay down for every man alive there's a fire and for every king a crown my world's been rocked before and it will be rocked again by a tremor or a howling wind and lord if you demand if the world at large asks of me I will surrender to you we have a power all animals do when faced with your fire I will surrender to you fun to joy the aim so we live forever they may mock us but we do the river carries on clouded with what we've done the deeds of me and you we have a power all animals do when faced with your fire I will surrender to you
