It takes a trip, a step away from your own home To see more clearly, but otherwise you wouldn't know Like what makes a seed (sewn in garden fabric) grow Leave it up to the sun to shine, the rain to fall around Leave it up to the earth to lie down and lay the ground For something like love It takes a trip, a step away from what you know To trace your family back as far as time can go To see what made it and will forever let it grow Leave it up to the loving arms to carry it along Leave it up to the beauty of love that's travelled on It didn't go it alone Leave it up to the smallest pieces everything is made of They didn't go it alone They hang on with loving arms Leave it up to the loving arms
