THE LIGHTNING TREE
by The Settlers (Words and music by Steven Francis)


Down in the meadow where the wind blows free, in the middle of a field stands a lightning tree, its 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 went, the lightning ripped 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 thunderclap

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 whisper of green in the lightning tree, dreams come true when 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

Lightning tree, lightning tree
Lightning tree
