Flowers die with winter’s snow
You must water what you grow
A year ago I saw the snow
You must water what you grow
Winter was long would not let go
You must water what you grow
Now I see light down on the road
You must water what you grow
Hope sprang with the grass I mow
You must water what you grow
Now it isn’t perfect, though
And the plant has built its home
So you must water what you grow
