This Is How A Garden Grows

Nations build their citadels, world spins like a carousel
 Merry goes around again, history repeats itself, yes
 Lovers speak in poetry, prophets use allegory
 Where one reaps, another sows
 Singing, this is how a garden grows
 Throw caution to the wind, throw it all away
 And leave your past behind you
 When it only seeks to remind you where you failed
 We'll reap what we've sown
 And we'll be singing, this is how a garden grows
 This is how a garden grows
 Blessing and anathema - everything we're handed down
 The truth is here, for what it's worth, speaking in the undergrowth
 Lovers speak in poetry, this one's painting melodies
 Where one reaps another sows
 Singing, this is how a garden grows
 Throw caution to the wind, throw it all away
 And leave your past behind you
 When it only seeks to remind you that you didn't do well at all
 We'll reap when we've grown, grown, grown
 And we'll be singing, this is how a garden grows
 Singing with the angels, this is how a garden grows
 Situations, folks and things
 All of it, we'll leave behind
 Singing
 When it's over, said and done
 Got to lay it all down
