  • You're precious to me, like Owen's poetry
    And I wish you well, my Heart of Oak

    When you sang Bay of Biscay
    The whole world it drifted away
    And the wind it sighed
    Through the hearts of oak
    I'll always be beside my Heart of Oak
    My Heart of Oak

    You're precious to me, like Blake's poetry
    And I wish you well, bold hearted Oak

    With your arms raised open wide
    Singing to the skies
    What a mighty soul, with a heart of oak
    Can't be bought or sold, not the heart of oak
    My Heart of Oak, my Heart of Oak

    You're the keeper of the flame
    In a time where so much is at stake
    And I wish you well, pure hearted oak
    Can't be bought or sold, not the heart of oak
    And from little acorns grow the mighty oaks

    My Heart of Oak, my Heart of Oak, my Heart of Oak

    And from little acorns grow the mighty oaks
