Lyrics
I?d like to plant a garden but I've never had the time
To work the earth and see the shoots
Spring forth & say they?re mine
I?d like to carve a sailing ship each detail to the tee
puffs of wind fill tiny sails across a tiny sea
In the flash of life I miss so much Time rushes by on wings
The world so vast, we like Stevenson
should live happy here as kings
Yet time framed much more glorious fulfilling at it?s height
To sup with Him To feel his warmth
and bask there in His light
