What You Reap Is What You Sow

They say the youth is the time to sow
Don’t they? Don’t they?
Some say that one can’t do it too slow
And mustn’t sow to show, sow to show
I was told to work hard, so I tried
I didn’t know how hard would be enough
Harvest came, and then I realised
Instead of work, instead of work
I’d watched the moon wax and wane
I foretold a better life
I foretold a better life
What you reap is what you sow
I’m asked how I didn’t know
What you reap is what you sow
I’m asked how I didn’t know
Later on it can be seen
What a man has sown, what seeds
Anyone who peaks at my field
Can see what a mess there is
What you reap is what you sow
I’m asked how I didn’t know
What you reap is what you sow
I’m asked how I didn’t know
Surprisingly all there is, nothing but
Weeds running wild on my fields
What you reap is what you sow
I’m asked how I didn’t know
What you reap is what you sow
I’m asked how I didn’t know
What you reap is what you sow
I’m asked how I didn’t know
What you reap is what you sow
I’m asked how I didn’t know
I’m asked how I didn’t know
These seeds I have to sow my own
