Rick Steiner - A Bit Of Earth lyrics

ARCHIBALD: A bit of earth She wants a little bit of earth She'll plant some seeds The seeds will grow The flowers bloom But is their bounty What she needs? How can she chance To love a little bit of earth? Does she not know? The earth is old And doesn't care if One small girl wants things to grow She needs a friend She needs a father Brother, sister Mother's arms She needs to laugh She needs to dance And learn to work Her girlish charm She needs a home The only thing she really needs I cannot give Instead she asks A bit of earth To make it live! She should have a pony Gallop 'cross the moor She should have a doll's house With a hundred rooms per floor Why can't she ask for a treasure? Something that money can buy That won't die! When I'd give her the world She asks, instead For some earth 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 She'll grow to love the tender roses Lilies fair, the iris tall And then in fall, her bit of earth Will freeze and k** them all A bit of earth, a bit of earth A bit of earth, a bit of earth
