You Can't Hurry An Elm

Here I wait
 I watch the grass grow under my feet
 It came and went
 An eye would blink then it was spent
 I plant a seed
 In twenty years I'll be glad I did
 If I last that long
 I'll watch it growing big and strong
 It's speeding by
 I hesitate but it won't wait for me
 Wonder what we are
 Well I do that a lot
 Continually revising my point of view
 Making a decision in my state of doubt
 What I keep to myself
 What I decide to let out
 And here today
 I've come a long long way
 And what I found
 Has made the body of my mind
 My sense of time
 Has fallen out of line
 And in my haste
 I missed what I was out to find
 Wonder what we are
 Well I do that a lot
 Continually revising my point of view
 Making a decision in my state of doubt
 What I keep to myself
 What I decide to let out
