about

When hope is offered, a seed is planted from which anything can grow. All it needs is loving attention, a little water and warm sunlight.

lyrics

It started from a little pot
The smallest seed was growing
Was given water, given shade
And sunlight overflowing

But roots they grow and take up space
As they are growing stronger
They need more depth, more nourishment
Can’t stay here any longer
This spot is too restrictive

You gave me the world
Just so I could grow
I never imagined it possible
You taught me that soil
Takes care of it all
And now I can feel myself growing
Now I can feel myself growing

Give a little time, give a little hope
Give a little time, give a little hope
Give a little me, give a little me to you

It started from a little pot
The smallest seed was growing
Was given water, given shade
And sunlight overflowing
