A little squirrel, found an acorn
And buried it, down deep in the ground
Then that acorn, took roots and gave, yes, gave
Birth to a tree that grew so big and round

That tree had arms that seemed to reach the sky above
The Creator said "Take this tree and build a house of love"
(A house of love)

Now, in this house, built from that tree
There's a woman, I know she loves me
And when at last I see these things all come to be, yeah
I know that only God can make a tree
(Can make a tree)

But if anything came upon this land
And took this love from me
Well, I hope it's ten times long as it took
For the acorn to become a tree

Now, when I see a little squirrel, find an acorn
And bury it, down deep in the ground
That makes me know, if the world keeps turning
Another tree will grow and another love will be found

And when at last I see these things all come to be, yeah
I know that only God can make a tree
(Can make a tree)

A little acorn, took roots and made a tree
That tree made a house, that house gave 'em love
That was sent from above, sent down from above
Sent down from above, sent down from above
