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
