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
