Because green deeds weave seamlessly
Between lido and cathedral
Between the shopping centres, pubs and schools we’ll go
Smiling, feeling, dreaming green
We have a green grid, green wheel, green festival, green spaces
and the spaces are getting more green
It has been fifteen years
Some are becoming old hands at shaping this land
We are ready, we are well planned,
But more important we have a dream gloved in our hands
