lyrics

Mother owned a garden
She could make things grow
Most things would survive
From the things that she would sow

She used to tend the soil
Giving it all good care
So the breath of life
Would hang around in there

I wonder how her children will grow
Time will tell, Time will tell

Me, I grow people
At least I give it a go
I've not lost that many
And mostly their wounds don't show

Me I grow people
At least I give it a try
And I'll search for one I've lost
Though the waters are high

I wonder what my children will grow
Time will tell, Time will tell

Many say they garden
But they just don't seem to care
They'd rather keep them all malnourished
Hungry, in the dark down there

Soil can be damaged and
Seeds can have a hard time
When poisons in the system
It's a shame, it's a pity, it's a crime

I wonder how their children will grow
Time will tell, Time will tell

Natures not too tidy
And nothing ever grows up the same
Diversification is the
Name of natures game

But when a culture grows some people
It grows them mostly in a line
To keep them all in order
And help them fit in just fine

I wonder how our children will grow
Time will tell, Time will tell
