Seeds

Fog said this seed will grow soon
But soon was over, a long time ago
Yes, I'm quite sure soon is over
And now it is later, much later
But this is all my fault
I must have frightened them very badly
Oh seeds, I'm sorry
I did not mean to raise my voice at you

Don't be afraid, go on and grow
Are you afraid, or are you slow?
I am your gardener, you are my seeds
I will attend to all of your needs

Come on, come on, come out of the dirt
It's safe out here, you won't get hurt
It's safe out here, you have my word
You don't believe me, then ask a bird

Hey bird! What is it, toad?
I have some seeds buried in the ground
Seed's terrific, I love seeds
You see, seeds, you are loved here
Where are they? I wanna eat 'em
Bird, go away, they will hear you
Seeds can't hear
They hear everything
Come on, toad, let me eat just one
Shh

No one will harm you
No one would dare
If anyone tries, I'll be there
I will be watching, every minute, every hour
'Til you grow up, to be a flower

Don't be afraid, go on and grow
Are you afraid, or are you slow?
I am your gardener, you are my seeds
I will attend to all of your needs

Seeds, I will recite for you a poem
Roses are red, violet are blue
They are flowers just like you
Seeds, I will do an interpretative dance for you

Seeds, I will play the tubers for you

Seeds, I gotta rest
But I will be right here if you need me

Toad, wake up
Frog, I was up half the night
I think I must have frightened my seeds
Very badly

Well, you could have frightened them too badly, toad
But they are growing
They are?
Look!
I don't see
Look more closely

Oh-ho-ho, my!
You are right frog, they are growing
They are awfully small
They will grow bigger
When?
Soon toad, soon
