See a tree grow through the sidewalk

An amazing thing to see

In the city, through the sidewalk

Grows a country kind of tree

And the leaves go green in summer

Make a cool and shady space

For the people who are passing

And the street's a better place



There is country in the city

Look around and you will see

Pigeons pecking on the pavement

Squirrel running up a tree

There is country in the city

For you and me

Oooooooo



See the flowers in some windows

Marigolds and daffodils

Like a little piece of country

Sitting on a windowsill

Island floating in the traffic

Where the trees and flowers grow

Little forest on the rooftop

City farmers down below



There is country in the city

Parts with butterflies and bees

Little lakes with boats for rowing

Playgrounds with trees

There is country in the city

With some buildings in between

Find a country in your city

Keep it growing

And growing

Keep it green
