Lyrics: 
Verse 1
In a forest wide and wondrous, stood a tree so tall and grand,
Its roots dug deep in the earth below, its branches touched the stars’ expanse.
They called it the Magic Tree, a marvel to behold,
With leaves that whispered every tongue, in stories yet untold.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Verse 2
Mira came from distant lands, with a heart weighed down with care,
She longed to speak and understand, but felt lost most everywhere.
She rested ’neath that mighty tree, and it spoke in her own tongue,
“Plant these seeds in every town, let understanding be begun.”

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Verse 3
She took the seeds and traveled on, planting in each place she went,
And from the soil of kindness grew, trees of understanding sent.
But in soils dark with anger’s blight, the fruits were sharp and cold,
Yet love and patience turned them sweet, as wisdom took its hold.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

[Instrumental]

Bridge
Now its branches touch the stars above, its roots are strong and deep,
A bridge between the earth and sky, where hearts and spirits meet.
It teaches us to speak with love, in every word we share,
To find the common ground we seek, with kindness everywhere.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Outro
So let us plant and tend our seeds, in soil rich and pure,
And watch our trees touch the heavens, with love that will endure.
For the Magic Tree stands tall, a guide for you and me,
To speak in words of unity, and live in harmony.

The Magic Tree

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.

FIRST OF ALL, I WILL SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT LISTEN TO MY SONGS - LOVE YOU ALL!!

Dear friends, I worry more and more about the state of the earth! More and more wars flare up, the climate is worrying with natural disasters as a result! Strong malevolent rulers emerge and succeed in egging the population of the respective countries. History has shown how it goes - I think of such men as Hitler and others! The war causes huge emissions of greenhouse gases! Instead, use the soldiers to plant trees and fight the terrible forest fires!

The Baltic Sea is living dangerously right now! Scores of ships in deplorable condition transport oil across the sea. The risks are great for extensive oil disasters! I have made some songs for the Baltic sea just to make people understand the problems.

I have recently published some of my songs on YouTube - search for Bengt Roth.

I write almost all of my songs, and I sing my songs and play the guitar and the harp - no more. My recording equipment is quite modest with a Furch guitar, Alhambra guitar, Röde microphone, Focusrite and Garageband. My studio is our guest room in our house.
I was young during the 1960s when Dylan became famous. I was a member of a folk song group during that time. I love Dylan´s music!! I was also a big fan of The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Mamas and the Papas and several more singers. I like folk music and the old protest songs. I love the music of Eva Cassidy. I was also a big fan of Björn Afzelius, and I love the music of Tom Petty. I am very inspired of the music of John Denver.
Bengt and certainly several 100 million people are intensively protesting against all evil around the world!
I love to sometimes write songs that are a bit weird and self-ironic!
You know that I am a novice in the "recording business", and sometimes I have to revise the songs.
My whole grown up life was occupied by my profession as a doctor in intensive care and anesthesiology. I was head of the department of Intensive and perioperative Care in Lund, Sweden the last years. After that I have got the possibility to be dedicated to music. 
My songs are a matter of extreme happiness and extreme sadness. I write all the music and lyrics except "As tears go by", "House of the Rising Sun", and songs by Evert Taube.
I love to leave some message with my songs!
I have no previous experience of writing fiction. I have, however, some experience in writing non-fiction. I wrote my thesis, and some chapters in a textbook in anesthesiology. I was also member of a group who introduced an education program in pediatric cardio pulmonary resuscitation for laymen in Sweden.
I have created a repost page "Bengt Erik Roth Repost Page".
