What You Reap Is What You Sow - Ewert and the Two Dragons

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
