Plant a Seed

Plant a seed, watch it grow
How it happens, I don’t know

A little rain, a little sun
But I don’t know how it is done.

Slowly reaching for the sky
Still, I cannot tell you why.

Flowers, trees, weeds, and grain
Just don’t ask me to explain

There’s really just one need: plant a seed.

Plant a seed, dream a dream
Live your life, be extreme

Make a move, diversify
Just don’t ask me to tell you why

Reality from pretend,
You never know just where or when

Lawyers, artists, doctors, too
There’s really nothing you can’t do

There’s really just one need: plant a seed.
