(PERCY, spoken)
Who's Thalia?
(GROVER, spoken)
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 was. Ask Annabeth.
[Verse 1]
There's a tGree on the hDill upon hEmalfblood hCill
That watches Gover Dus Emsilent and Cstill
And Gno one at Dcamp is Emsafe uCntil
GWe can Csee the Dtree on the Ghill
(GROVER, spoken)
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. The third was Thalia.
Tough girl. Like her dad... Zeus.
(PERCY, spoken)
I thought I was the only kid of the Big Three gods.
(GROVER, spoken)
You are now. We'd only 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.
[Verse 2]
And Gthere on the Dhill upon Emhalfblood Chill
A Gcold wind Dblew Emdark and Cchill
For Gnothing will Dslake its Emwrathful Cwill
We Ghad to Cmake a Dstand
[Bridge]
And mEmaybe if I'd been a little bit braver
CMaybe if I'd stayed behind to fight
But mDaybe doesn't let me go back and save her
GMaybe doesn't mCake it alrDight
(GROVER, spoken)
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, spoken)
He saved her... right?
(GROVER, spoken)
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.
[Verse 3]
There's a trGee on the hDill upon hEmalfblood hCill
That prGotects us aDll and aEmlways wCill
And it's tGhere remiCnding Emme
Of aGll I faCiled to Ambe
The tDree... on the hGill

(PERCY, spoken)

Who's Thalia?

(GROVER, spoken)

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 was. Ask Annabeth.

[Verse 1]

G D Em C

There's a tree on the hill upon halfblood hill

G D Em C

That watches over us silent and still

G D Em C

And no one at camp is safe until

G C D G

We can see the tree on the hill

(GROVER, spoken)

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. The third was Thalia.

Tough girl. Like her dad... Zeus.

(PERCY, spoken)

I thought I was the only kid of the Big Three gods.

(GROVER, spoken)

You are now. We'd only 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.

[Verse 2]

G D Em C

And there on the hill upon halfblood hill

G D Em C

A cold wind blew dark and chill

G D Em C

For nothing will slake its wrathful will

G C D

We had to make a stand

[Bridge]

And maybe if I'd been a little bit braver

Maybe if I'd stayed behind to fight

But maybe doesn't let me go back and save her

G C D

Maybe doesn't make it alright

(GROVER, spoken)

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, spoken)

He saved her... right?

(GROVER, spoken)

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.

[Verse 3]

G D Em C

There's a tree on the hill upon halfblood hill

G D Em C

That protects us all and always will

G C Em

And it's there reminding me

G C Am

Of all I failed to be

D G

The tree... on the hill
