The Olive Tree Lyricsby Kismet Cast. From Kismet The Olive Tree by Kismet Cast A fool sat beneath an olive tree And a wondrous thought had he, So he rose and he told it to the sky, And where was I? Behinfd the tree, I overheard his reverie. "Why be content with an olive when you could have the tree ? Why be content to be nothing, when there's nothing you couldn't be ? Why be contented with one olive tree when you could have the whole olive grove ? Why be content with a grove when you could have the world ?" The fool stood beneath the olive tree "What a wondrous thought" said he "But alas, it is very, very deep" And so he yawned and went to sleep, Because you see, he was a fool! Why be content with an olive when you could have the tree? That which has lulled you to sleep fool, has awakened me. Why should I sigh that my lot is my lot, that I can't make it anything more, When that is a lie, an excuse for a fool to snore. I walked from behind the olive tree With a wondrous change in me, For I walked with my eye upon a Star. If you have heard and do not heed There is a word for what you are, And oh my friend, the word is Fool! [Thanks to Pauline Evans for lyrics]
