Room to Grow
[Verse 1]
Now that winter has fled the scene
We can roll up our sleeves
Trees are shedding their white snowy coats
And revealing their fresh green leaves
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now we're outta the dark days
And seein' light
We can melt all our worries in the sun
We can finally have fun
[Chorus 1]
Dig a little deeper
Sowing something better
Tend the earth to make it last
Caring for each other
Each decision matters
Mend the damage of the past (Ow!)
[Verse 2]
Now's the time when a scheme that is tired
Can rebrand itself anew
Holing up for a time was required
But in time you have to pay what's due
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've been counting the days till I might
Reunite with all my friends
Get outside for a ride, or go for a run
We can finally have fun
[Chorus 2]
Plant a little seedling
Love it into being
Make it bloom and make it count
With some perseverance
Comes a reappearance
See the fruits of life amount
[Bridge]
When the mulch is all you see
Trust the Earth's fertility
Beneath the surface, it's maturing
Soon emerging as a new life
There might be droughts or gloomy days
But Mother Nature has her ways
Pull out the weeds that you don't need
Your thoughts are seeds
It's just a metaphor
[Chorus 3]
Quack, quack, quack
Spring is back
(Quack, quack, quack)
Hear nature sing
Grow a little wild
Keep your inner child
Feed the squirrels
(No, not with my hot dog!)
[Refrain]
There's always room to grow
The thoughts we tend will grow
There's always room to grow
Dig a little deeper
Sowin' something better
There's always room to grow
The love we tend will grow
There's always room to grow
