Plant the seed in the new world, boys
The seed of freedom and liberty
Water it and protect it well
Watch it grow into a great big tree

It’s a great big tree for the world to see
A symbol of the brave and free
And the bells will ring from sea to sea
Ringing with the sound, the sound of liberty

Tend to the little sapling, boys
Make some room and clear the tea
Grab your guns for we will fight
Send those British back across the sea

It’s a great big tree for the world to see
A symbol of the brave and free
And the bells will ring from sea to sea
Ringing with the sound, the sound of liberty

Sign the Declaration, boys
Put an end to this tyranny
Make a list of our God-given rights
And raise them high for all to see

It’s a great big tree for the world to see
A symbol of the brave and free
And the bells will ring from sea to sea
Ringing with the sound, the sound of liberty

Keep your guns nearby, boys
We must keep fighting for liberty
And while we are at it
Let’s put an end to slavery

It’s a great big tree for the world to see
A symbol of the brave and free
And the bells will ring from sea to sea
Ringing with the sound, the sound of liberty

Plant the poppies at the base, boys
Plant them all around the liberty tree
One for each brother who has fallen
Losing their lives in the line of duty

It’s a great big tree for the world to see
A symbol of the brave and free
And the bells will ring from sea to sea
Ringing with the sound, the sound of liberty

It’s time to put your guns up, boys
Let your sons handle the next century
But teach your grandchildren all they need
To keep the flame burning, the love of liberty

It’s a great big tree for the world to see
A symbol of the brave and free
And the bells will ring from sea to sea
Ringing with the sound, the sound of liberty
