Lyrics Sample 

When seeds grow, though it’s slow

It’ll all come good don’t you know.

Treat them well. Time will tell, at the harvest.

Watch them grow, though it’s slow,

’Til it’s time to reap what you sow.

Treat them well. Time will tell when they’re grown.

Planting our seeds in the spring,

See what the summer will bring.

Then in the Autumn the crops fill our hands.

Winter’s a rest for the land.

When seeds grow, though it’s slow... (etc.)

Autumn’s when we start at school.

Winter time we’re learning too.

Spring’s when we blossom with all that we know,

Summer time we’re set to go!
