Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen, everybody, there's something I have seen
I was just out walking, and I stumbled 'cross this scene
It was very simple, but it still held my glance
We city folk head to the park to be amongst the plants
At times, the world is stifling and it is hard to breathe
Bet you can find oxygen if you just find some leaves
I can feel dejected, life pulls apart my seams
But they built a climbing frame out of a fallen tree
[Verse 2]
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
[Verse 3]
Some kids were climbing under, others were branching out
No one's doing guest lists 'cause everyone's allowed
A dog barked at the bark, a squirrel watched with caution
Sunbathers ignore them, parents hide exhaustion
One child just hugs it, one says, "I'm the captain"
There wasn't an election, no one's doing admin
We all just grow upwards and get further from our roots
The giant trees that line our street started with a shoot
[Verse 4]
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
[Verse 5]
I don't know how it had fallen, I don't think they knew either
Had it been the wind or perhaps munched down by a beaver?
I know it would have stood there maybe a hundred years
Love to hear its stories if it could whisper in my ears
One day, we'll be horizontal like a half empty cup
But because they are smaller, things are always looking up
They weren't trying to be symbolic, they were just having a laugh
But where most saw an obstacle, they just saw a path
[Verse 6]
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
[Verse 7]
Fallen tree, climbing frame
Fallen tree, climbing frame
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
They turned a fallen tree into a climbing frame
Fallen tree, climbing frame
