Lyrics
Until You've Sown The Seed
Remember Rome wasn't built in a day
Where there's a will, there must be a way
Or maybe it's like trying to find a needle in the hay
Remember two wrongs won't make a right
So don't give up without a fight
Cause we're just like ships that go bump in the night
And you won't reap the harvest
Until you've sown the seed
So don't start to run until you can walk
Try to look me in the eye when you talk
Cause we're about as similar as cheese and chalk
What comes from within can come from above
Like an iron hand in a velvet glove
Cause love is all, and all you need is love
And you won't reap the harvest
Until you've sown the seed
And you won't reap the harvest
Until you've sown the seed
And you won't reap the harvest
Until you've sown the seed
And you won't reap the harvest
Until you've sown the seed
