Forest of Love Lyrics

I'm a girl
Five years old
God don't take my boy
Give him back
My brother
Murderer or beauty
Don't send him
To the slaughter house
Don't send him
Into watersnakes
He needs from the forest
The forest of love
I will live
He can live
Maybe we can be there
Forest is good
Home inside
Safest, warmest bed
Birds drinking
From the stream
Hardened smell of grow
Trees all alive
And will cry
Washed by songs entirely
Don't send him to the ocean cold
Don't send him to the water afraid
He needs from the forest
The forest of love
I'm in the forest of love
I'm in there, the forest of love
Oo the here and now
Oo my brother

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
