You reap what you sow
And I know that you've heard
The poison you sowed has been spread by the birds
On wind and in stream
It has travelled our world
To the roots of the flower I grow for my girl
I can see that to kill this weed I've got to
Tear it up by the roots
I can see that to kill this weed I've got to
Tear it up by the roots
Our roots have grown through
All the poison you sowed
Did as much to stop us as the soil and the stone
The chances you've had
The chances you've thrown
I hope that you know that you reap what you sow
I can see that to kill this weed I've got to
Tear it up by the roots
I can see that to kill this weed I've got to
Tear it up by the roots
I can see that to kill this weed I've got to
Tear it up by the roots
I can see that to kill this weed I've got to
Tear it up by the roots
I can see that to kill this weed I've got to
Tear it up by the roots
I can see that to kill this weed I've got to
Tear it up by the roots
