Sit with me a while, my child
I'll tell you of the things that make me smile
Tales of my roots below the wandering path
Where wildflowers grow
Birds and their symphony
There's freedom in the way they laugh and sing
Buzzing of a happy bee
Lilting and dancing in the breeze
If you feel like you can't win
And you don't know where to begin
Trenches seem too high
And there's nothing but clouds in the sky
Somewhere down the row
Your roots are starting to grow
Sit in the garden, give the weeds a pardon
And maybe let the flowers tend to you
♪
Sit beneath the fading day
And feel the worries gently fade away
Though this life asks much of you
Before the night there's nothing left to do
There's always work left to be done
But we can't fight the setting of the sun
Cozy up and rest your eyes
As the moon is singing in the sky
If you feel like you can't win
And you don't know where to begin
Trenches seem too high
And there's nothing but clouds in the sky
Somewhere down below
Your roots are starting to grow
