Grow

Between the seams that line your living room

A vine of ivy's pushing her way through

And as she creeps along, she sinks her roots

Into the cracks, and pulls 'em back until the structure's coming loose

And the way the shadows on the wall are cast

Look like a twisted apparition from the past

And all the memories come flooding fast

A wilderness you kinda miss, but were taught you ought to cut it back

So you shut it out

You shout it down

Until you're all white-knuckled

You got a lot to learn, if you'd settle down

Let be what is, let be what isn't

It's a natural world in which we're living

And if you let it alone, it will surely grow

Just leave it alone, child, and let it go

And when all your ziggurats have crumbled down

And every stone is thrown like seeds across the ground

A new arcadia will come around

And multiply until the binds of death have been unwound

So don't you shut it out

Don't you shout it down

And get your feathers ruffled

You got a lot to learn, if you'd just settle down

And let the river run its course

'Cause see, the ground all around

It was always holy

Leave the ruins where they fall

Leave them all

And let the wild take over

Let be what is, let be what isn't

It's a natural world in which we're living

And if you let it alone, it will surely grow

Just leave it alone, child, and let it go
