Lyrics
Soil
By Jason Z. Schroeder
Well I'm too sad
To write another sad song
Oh I fear it might move me along
Like a leaf that has fallen from the tree
It knows no home, was grown from the seed
Will I survive?
Or will I become soil?
Will you watch as I turn to dust?
Is this where I placed my trust?
Would you stay if I said you must?
Like a leaf that has fallen from the tree
I have no home, was grown from the seed
Will I survive?
Or will I become soil?
I'd trade it all
To be back in the woods there with you
But you gave me flight so I
Be alone tonight
Well I'm too sad
To write another sad song
And my fears, they were right all along
Like a letter in a bottle in the sea
With the hope to change destiny
Will I survive?
Or will I become soil?
Will I survive?
Or will I become soil?
