The Tree on the Hill

Who's Thalia?
You're not the first half-blood I was sent to protect
I should have told you but but I thought if I did
You'd never want me on this quest
If you knew what a failure I really am
Ask Annabeth, she knows

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

This was way before I met you
Chiron sent me to escort three half-bloods back to camp
Two were runaways
One was Annabeth
The other was Luke
And the third was Thalia

Tough girl like her dad, Zeus
I thought I was the only kid of the big three gods
You are now
We'd almost made it back to camp but I got nervous
And we got lost and by the time we found the hill
Something else found us

And there on the hill, up on half-blood hill
A cold wind blew dark and chill
Though nothing would slay its wrath or 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

Thalia saved us
We only survived because she stayed to hold off the monsters
She paid for her sacrifice with her life
Thats when Zeus showed up
And saved her, right?

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

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
