lyrics

i know that its hard to reach the top of the tree
but thats just not a problem for me
cos i fell out of it a long time ago
but ill start again with no further delay
ill plant an acorn while the birds are away
and then stand back to watch it grow

mighty oaks mighty oaks spring forth
from humble beginnings you climb so high
for you are built up from the earth and the rain
and one day you will fall back down again
mighty oaks spring forth

so fall far from the tree as far as you can
dont be overshadowed nor cut by man
so bask in the sunlight spread your leaves and bear fruit
for out of the strong there comes something sweet
and under your branches ill find a shady seat
and they'll nest in your boughs and in burrows between your roots
