Amalia Fleming - Planting Seeds Lyrics

Can I tell you a story
Would you want me to?
About a girl in a humble house
With one pair of shoes
It was hard life made easy
Or an easy life made hard
Either way she grew up freely
Friends with dark, and she learned

To find the flip side of the coin
With the pennies in your pocket
And if the glass is half empty
Then find a way top it
See the forest for the trees
See the branches for the leaves
Learn when to hold tightly
And when it's time to drop it
Don't stay busy pulling weeds
When you can be planting seeds

She sat with her toes in the river
Relief from the heat
All of these simple pleasures
Don't feel any better in the bourgeoisie
The smell of a home cooked meal
Wafting to the living room
Oh, it has the same kinda feel
As the last day of school in June

Find the flip side of the coin
With the pennies in your pocket
And if the glass is half empty
Then find a way top it
See the forest for the trees
See the branches for the leaves
Learn when to hold tightly
And when it's time to drop it
Don't stay busy pulling weeds
When you can be planting seeds

Time well spent is a life well led
Nothing needs to make sense
Even in the end
Ride the push and pull
And when it's time to let go
Oh you will know, oh you will know

To find the flip side of the coin
With the pennies in your pocket
And if the glass is half empty
Then find a way top it
See the forest for the trees
See the branches for the leaves
Learn when to hold tightly
And when it's time to drop it
Don't stay busy pulling weeds
When you can be planting seeds
When you can be planting seeds
