I planted a seed
The seed did not grow
I gave it water
The seed did not grow

I nourished the soil
The seed did not grow
I gave it my love
The seed did not grow

I gave it some light
The seed did not grow
Even a scarecrow
Did not make it grow

I gave it water
The water had dried
The climate was cold
Tears froze when I cried

I gave it my love
But love’s not enough
With climate so cold
The growing was tough

I moved to the south
Where all the plants grew
The plants grew on trees
With flowers of blue

The vines grew on vines
The moss grew on rocks
Mold grew on my shoes
And funk on my socks

I planted a seed
But it did not grow
The icebergs melted
The jungles layed low

Some jungles were high
The sun was too hot
Where life once flourished
For now it does not

I moved to the north
Where all the plants grew
The plants grew on trees
With flowers of blue

The vines grew on vines
The moss grew on rocks
Mold grew on my shoes
And funk on my socks

And standing right there
Where I used to live
Stood a giant tree
Bearing fruit to give

I planted a seed
And somehow I knew
The seed I planted...
That little seed grew!
