lyrics

you can grow things in december if you remember
you can grow things in july if you try
you can grow things year round
if you trust that they won't let you down
let them grow

you would do somebody some good if you could
you could do somebody some good if you would
if you give somebody a chance
and they just let it fall through their hands
let it go

some questions are just gonna haunt you when they want to
some questions run so deep that you can't sleep
sometimes there's no lesson to learn
it just sits in your chest and it burns
let it go

the young shoot asked the elder tree
oh god what will become of me?
the sun shone through the leaves' dense spread
the tree thought for a while and said

oh, there is a light in things
