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

Wondering about the word "rent", can it be right?

perhaps "went" ? (the lighting went)

Vielen Dank, glaube ich auch und schreibe es auch so hin
(übrigens die Titelmelodie der TV-Serie "Follyfoot")
