Shhhhhhh Listen
Shhhhhhh, listen very carefully
D'ya hear that happy sound
The corn is high five-ing each other
The rain's finally pounding down
After a record hot dry summer
Getting buckets of that miracle stuff
The grass is giggling just like the corn
Sure hope it ends up as enough
Nature is quite unpredictable eh
One year to the next one following
We never know if it's feast or famine
In self pity we're always wallowing
Should know by now nothing's for sure
The weather will do it's own thing
The only event we can rely on each year
Is that winter is followed by spring
Shhhhhhh, listen very carefully
D'ya hear that happy sound
Mother Nature's shining down again
With her shimmering golden crown
