Lyrics
Soil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow!)
(Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow up!)
Would the Oak say to the Pine
Not so many needles next time
Try a few leaves you’ll do just fine
If you look a little more like me
Or the Sycamore to the Blackberry Vine
Just let go your thorns
Grow your branches tall like mine
We’d all be better if you looked a little more like me
Nah, but we!
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have, no we don’t all have
Would the Sunflower say to the Lilly of the Valley
Why do you hide in the shade?
Come forth and show your colors proudly
You would be more [?] if you grew like me
Or the Sequoia to a Sapling in a fire
Maybe if you would have worked a little harder
Reached a little higher
Then you could stand strong like me
Nah nah nah
Nah, but we!
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have, no we don’t all have
Same soil, same soil
Nah, but we!
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have, no we don’t all have
