A long time ago
I told them it is possible
They did not believe me
I told them just wait and see
When the soil is prepared
The seed will grow
And it did.
Deep roots in the dark
Left unattended for too long
Worked their way up
Into daylight again.
So don’t be surprised
It’s been a long time
In the making
The sleepers were busy
While you were dreaming
Of a better world.
