Time to Grow

Words & Music: Phyl Lobl

TUNE A

There's a time to be sowing
A time to be growing
A time to be knowing that time's running out,
For the world to be be greening
For super Spring cleaning
Re-learning the meaning of what life's about.

TUNE B

The trees in the forest are shaken and shorn
The fish in the rivers are frightened to spawn,
The cycle of nature is tortured and torn,
We have to settle the bill, with our minds and will,
If we mind then we will, but the world's waiting still.

TUNE B

From the Isle of Skye where the grey seal is bred,
To the oceans where oil slicks give up their dead,
How can we lie so easy in bed,
Now is the time don't you know, that we reap what we sow,
This is our time to grow.

TUNE A

There's a time for complaining
For open campaigning
So get into training, give it a go,
We can do the choosing,
The world's for the losing,
If that seems amusing there's no time to grow.

TUNE B

The trees in the forest are shaken and shorn
The fish in the rivers are frightened to spawn,
The cycle of nature is tortured and torn,
We have to settle the bill, with our minds and will,
If we mind then we will, but the world, our world's waiting still.
