- Weeds In The Field
CH.
You (We) are the good seeds in the crop,
You (We) are the harvest
You’re (We’re) not the weeds which cause the rot,
You (We) are the Harvest
VS 1
No matter how good the soil can be
No matter how good the seed or its quality
Some weeds will be planted by the wind
Some weeds will grow,…BUT,… CH.
VS 2
The weeds will be strong and as they grow
They’ll try to rob the good seeds soil
Together they’ll follow the sun’s rays
Some weeds will grow,..BUT,… CH.
VS 3
The weeds we know, only so well
Hate and greed and selfish deed.
They grow inside you if you let them,
So don’t you let them,…FOR,… CH.
