the seed

Said the blade of grass to the restless wind,
"I've seen the end of many things in my day,
but the worst of it all is the fire that dies
leaving nothing but ashes till the smoke clears away.
And i watch those steps to the inn on the hill
overlooking the bay where many boats have sailed past;
lovers come and go, but they never return
because they've given up on finding something that lasts."

Hey, ohhhh...
Hey, ohhhh...

Said the restless wind to the rustling leaves,
"Did you know that love is only a dream?
I was told by the grass it'll never be found
like a seed that got lost when it floated downstream.
I guess there's no hope for the soul anymore
after all, anything with a beginning must end."
And the wind moved on, but the leaves were enraged
and they whispered so loud the trees they started to bend.

Hey, ohhhh...
Hey, ohhhh...

Said the rustling leaves to the bended ear,
"Listen closely to the warning I give.
I was told by the wind who was told by the grass
that the heart has been jaded so that love might not live.
And the world is to blame, but there's hope for you yet;
don't give up and let it break in and steal.
With noble strength, teach your heart to wait,
and one day soon you'll find a love that is real."

Hey, ohhhh...
Hey, ohhhh...
