Roots To Fruits
A little sunlight, a little rain
A bit of hope cuts through the pain
and
Though the seasons swiftly pass
Deep down we know they will not last
So we bend with the wind
And we pray we don't break.
We don't know how we grow
So we give just as we take...
So, once we were just a tiny seed
Unrecognizable indeed
and
Though our growth is unobserved
We know our lives must be preserved
So we bend with the wind
And we pray we don't break
We don't know how we grow
So we give just as we take
Another year means another ring
Survive the Winter, enjoy the Spring
and
Through the Summer and Autumn's call
When, once again our lives will stall
So we bend with the wind
And we pray we don't break
We don't know how we grow
So we give just as we take
We dig deep
We stretch high
From Earth to the stars
From our roots
To our fruits
This is who we are
