Planting Flowers
Words and Music by Erik Swerrie
“What'cha you doin', Mamma?” Asked the little one,
As her mother pulled the weeds and turned the soil,
“I'm letting air and water and the sunlight in,
So Spring will bring us beautiful colored joy,”
“How do you know what's gonna grow, Mamma, will be beautiful?”
Mommy smiled, touched the little nose and said, “'Cause I'm Planting Flowers!”

Whether or not you see it, We're always planting seeds,
So eventually Time will reveal, The flowers or the weeds,
It's just the way the world works, Though it seems like Magical Powers,
So if your seeds are gonna grow, You might as well be Planting Flowers

“What's the matter daddy?” Asked the little one,
As her father clicked the TV off with a long, long sigh,
“Oh, last year was a hard one, darlin', 'n it looks like more to come,
“But don't you let it bother you, 'cause we'll be alright,”
“I'm not bothered Daddy, Momma's fixing that for us,”
And from the lap she climbed into she said, “'Cause Momma's Planting Flowers!”

Whether or not you see it, We're always planting seeds,
Eventually Time will reveal, To us what we believe,
It's the way The Heart works, It just looks like Magic Powers,
So if your seeds are gonna grow, You might as well be Planting Flowers,
Planting Flowers

A seed holds the future in it's heart,
And flowers hold the light deep in their roots,
So when it blooms the flower holds the one and only moment that there is,
For me and you,

Whether or not you see it, We're always planting seeds,
So eventually Time will reveal, To us what we believe,
It's just the way the Heart works, Though it seems like Magic Powers,
So if your seeds are gonna grow, You might as well be Planting Flowers

Even if you've yet to understand, Our Hearts still have these powers
Yeah, since our seeds are gonna grow we might as well be Planting Flowers,
Planting Flowers,
So Let's Plant Flowers.....
