I never thought I'd be evergreen I never thought I'd be evergreen Everybody is finding their stride I can't get to mine I just follow the line ♪ You know the sun just won't shine through Unless I like what I do I never thought I would be employed If you're the general, I'm a cabin boy And everybody is making it worse My shoes fill with dirt It's you who must assert ♪ You know, the fruit you bear's so sweet Falling soft and gentle at my feet ♪ You know the sun just won't shine through Unless I like what I do And I try something new But I can't help do what I do
