Somebody found a seed and planted it in the ground
It took a while to grow but now you can see it’s found
Somebody kept it safe, protected it from the crowd
Somebody kept the faith, somebody who had no doubt 

Somebody came along and stopped and thought for a while
Somebody came along and wanted to give it a try
Some saw it going on and gave a hand and a smile
Somebody came along and managed to swallow their pride
 
Hey, do you see what we’ve become now?
But there always seems to be a problem we can’t solve 
Hey, do you see what we’ve achieved now?
But there always seems to be an ulterior motive involved

Somebody saw the tree and wanted to chop it down
To make lots of money and so then support the town
They didn’t think about the history, the people who cried out loud
Somebody disagreed, smiley face became a frown

Somebody found a seed and planted it in the ground
It took a while to grow but now you can see it’s found
Somebody kept it safe, protected it from the crowd
Somebody kept the faith, somebody who had no doubt
