Lyrics of 'The Tree On The Hill' by Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief Musical

[Percy]
Who's Thalia?

[Grover]
You're not the first half-blood I was sent to protect
I should've told you, but I-I thought that if I did
You'd never want me on this quest
If you knew what a failure I am
Ask Annabeth, she knows

[Grover]
There's a tree on the Hill
Up on Half-Blood Hill
That watches over us
Silent and still
And no one at camp is safe until
We can see the tree on the Hill

[Grover]
This was way before I met you
Quiron sent me to escort three half-bloods back to camp
Two were runaways
One was Annabeth
The other was Luke
The third was Thalia
Tough girl, like her dad, Zeus

[Percy]
I-I thought I was the only kid of the Big Three gods

[Grover]
You are now
We'd only made it back to camp, but
I got nervous, we got lost and
By the time we found the hill
Something else found us

[Grover]
And there on the Hill
Up on Half-Blood Hill
A cold wind blew
Dark and chill
For nothing would slake its wrathful will
We had to make a stand

And maybe if I'd been a little bit braver
Maybe if I stayed behind to fight
But "maybe" doesn't let me go back and save her
Maybe doesn't make it alright

[Grover]
Thalia saved us
We only survived because she stayed to hold off the monsters
She paid for her sacrifice with her life
That's when Zeus showed up

[Percy]
He saved her, right?

[Grover]
It was too late for that
As she died
He turned her into a tree
So she could stand protecting us, forever
The way I couldn't do for her

[Grover]
There's a tree on the Hill
Up on Half-Blood Hill
That protects us all
And always will

And it's there reminding me
Of all I failed to be
The tree on the Hill
