Soil by James Spaite Lyrics

Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow!
Grow! Grow! Grow! Grow up!

Would the Oak say to the Pine
“Not so many needles next time
Try a few leaves you’ll do just fine
If you look a little more like me.”

Or the Sycamore to the Blackberry Vine
“Just let go your thorns
Grow your branches tall like mine
We’d all be better if you looked a little more like me.”

Nah, but we!
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have, no we don’t all have

Would the Sunflower say to the Lilly of the Valley
“Why do you hide in the shade?
Come forth and show your colors proudly
You would be more _____ if you grew like me.”
Or the Sequoia to a Sapling in a fire
“Maybe if you would have worked a little harder
Reached a little higher
Then you could stand strong like me.”
Nah nah nah
Nah, but we!
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have, no we don’t all have

Same soil, same soil

Nah, but we!
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have the same soil
We don’t all have, no we don’t all have
