Down in the meadow where the wind blows free 
In the middle of a field stands the lightning tree

Down in the meadow where the wind blows cold
The lightening tree stands stiff and old.

Down in the meadow with the wind in the West
The lightening tree stood up to the test.

Branches bent when the lightening rent
The lightening rent from the firmament.

Dreams come true if you want them too 
If you want them too then it's up to you

   

The Lightning Tree, written by Steven Francis and performed by the Settlers.

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.

CHORUS
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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS (2X)
