A Bit Of Earth

A bit of earth
 She wants a little bit of earth
 She'll plant some seeds
 ♪
 The seeds will grow
 The flowers bloom but is their bounty what she needs?
 ♪
 How can she chance to love a little bit of earth?
 Does she not know the earth is hard
 and doesn't care if one small girl wants things to grow?
 
 She needs a friend
 She needs a father, brother, sister, mother's arms
 She needs to laugh,
 she needs to dance and learn to work her girlish charm
 
 She needs a home
 The only thing she really needs I cannot give
 Instead she asks a bit of earth to make it live
 She should have a pony
 Gallop 'cross the moor
 She should have a doll's house with a hundred rooms per floor
 Why can't she ask for a treasure?
 Something that money can buy that won't die
 When I'd give her the world
 she asks instead for some earth
 A bit of earth
 She wants a little bit of earth
 She'll plant some seeds
 The seeds will grow
 The flowers bloom their beauty just the thing she needs
 She'll grow to love
 the tender roses, lilies fair, the iris tall
 and then in fall, her bit of earth will freeze and kill them all
 A bit of earth
 A bit of earth
 A bit of earth
 A bit of EARTH!
