The Lightning Tree

Down in the meadow where the wind blows free In the middle of a field stands a lightning tree It's limbs all torn from the day it was born For the tree was born in a thunderstorm Grow, grow, the lightning tree It's never too late for you and me Grow, grow, the lightning tree Never give in too easily Down in the meadow where the wind blows light The lightning struck in the middle of the night Limbs stripped bare by the lightning flare The lightning flare was a wild affair Grow, grow, the lightning tree It's never too late for you and me Grow, grow, the lightning tree Never give in too easily Down in the meadow where the wind blows cold The lightning tree stands stiff and old Branches bent when the lightning rent The lightning rent from the firmament Grow, grow, the lightning tree Never give in too easily Down in the meadow with the wind in the west The lightning tree faced up to the test Its heart went snap when it took the rap The terrible rap of the thunder clap Grow, grow, the lightning tree It's never too late for you and me Grow, grow, the lightning tree Never give in too easily Down in the meadow when the wind blows free A whispering breeze in the lightning tree Dreams come true if you want them to If you want them to, then it's up to you Grow, grow, the lightning tree Never give in too easily Grow, grow, the lightning tree It's never too late for you and me Grow, grow, the lightning tree Never give in too easily Grow, grow, the lightning tree It's never too late for you and me Grow, grow, the lightning tree Never give in too easily Grow, lightning tree Lightning tree Lightning tree
