What You Reap Is What You Sow lyrics

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 It foretold a better life, It 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 peeks 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 These seeds I have to sow my own
