Place a little pebble in your hand.
Throw it in a pond and watch it land.
Then watch the ripples slowly form.
Small waves of water, nature born.

To the water's edge the ripples flow.
Until they find there's no place to go.
A ripple effect from one small stone.
Not only in water is this effect known.

It happens too beyond pond and lake.
A broken heart can lead others to ache.
Flowing tears can reach far and wide.
And just like ripples, they cannot hide.

It's a special place this land I'm from.
A City which cares, which cries as one.
That ripple effect is clear for all to see.
Just have a look at young Bobby's tree.
