A bit of Earth

She wants a little bit of earth she'll plant some seeds

The seeds will grow

The flowers bloom but is their bounty shat she needs

How can she chance

To love a little bit of Earth does she not know

The Earth is old

And doesn't care if one small girl wants things to grow



She needs a friend

She needs a father, brother, sister, mother's arms

She needs to laugh

She needs to dance and learn to work her girlish charms

She needs a home

The only thing she really needs I cannot give

Instead she asks

A bit of earth to make it live



She should have a pony

Gallop 'cross the moor

She should have a doll's house

With a hundred rooms per floor

Why can't she ask for a treasure

Something that money can buy that won't die

When I'd give her the world

She asks instead for some earth



A bit of earth

She wants a little bit of earth she'll plant some seeds

The seeds will grow

The flowers bloom their beauty just the thing she needs

She'll grow to love

The tender roses, lilies fair the iris tall

And then in fall

Her bit of earth will freeze and kill them all



A bit of earth

A bit of earth

A bit of earth

A bit of earth
