Aaren and the Acorn
by UFO Hawaii & John Jones

Aaren found an acorn that had fallen from an oak
A big and royal oak it was, in the corner of a park
It seemed to call to him from among the grass and leaves
A creaky wooden voice, from a rather smallish seed

So Aaren went unto the nut and knelt down carefully
What could it be about that thing
That makes me stop right here and think
That I should take it with me now
And plant it home where it will grow into a mighty tree?

Take me! Take me! Take me! Take me!
Take me cried the acorn
Take me home with you
Take me, Take me, Take me, Take me home with you!

Put me in your pocket or tie me to your shoe.

I will grow into an oak so high and wide, you’ll see
and you can climb and carve and cut and satisfy your dreams

It looks like all the other nuts scattered among the ifs and buts
And ands and ands and ands
And if this nut is so darn special, something truly monumental
Surely it has other important plans

And Aaren wondered why the acorn picked him out of all
He wasn’t very colorful, nor was he very tall

Take me! Take me! Why don’t you take me?

Don’t walk away and leave me
I’ll die beside this tree
Another oak this ground will not concede.
Another oak this ground will not concede.

The acorn took his hard beret
And flung it fast in Aaren’s way
Knocking him to his feet Leaving poor Aaren bleeding in the street.
