“A bit of earth,
She wants a little bit of earth.
She'll plant some seeds.
The seeds will grow,
The flowers bloom
Their beauty just the thing she needs.
A bit of earth,
A drop of dew,
A bit of earth
A single stem begins to rise.
That bit of earth
Is pushed away,
The flowers bloom
Before our eyes.
For in the earth,
The charm's at work,
The word is passed,
The days are warm.
Unfold and grow,
The winter's past,
We're free from harm.”
