    Lyrics

    You Reap What You Sow

    Three farmers each bought land and went out to the fields
    Each planting what he thought would bring the biggest yield
    Just like you and me, just like you and me

    Farmer one rose with the sun and said "I'll see you later
    Gotta get'r done, be number one and beat out all my neighbors
    He said, "Don't you know? You reap what you sow"

    So, he planted business
    And the crop that came up was resentment
    From the children who most needed his attention
    And a wife who wanted some sign of commitment
    To the things that made her love him years ago
    He grew a fortune
    But it didn't matter since his life was shortened
    ‘Cause he killed himself on things that weren't important
    And all his money couldn't save his soul
    You reap what you sow

    Farmer two had much to do and not much time to do it
    He thought about the good life and the fastest shortcut to it
    He said, "Don't you know? You reap what you sow"

    So, he planted pleasure
    He only worked when he had perfect weather
    Had some fun, but he wound up a beggar
    And then those friends of his just hit the road
    Where did they go?
    He grew so selfish
    But he never had a taste of what true wealth is
    And he would tell you he believes that hell is
    When the parties over and you're all alone
    You reap what you sow

    Farmer three, as you will see, had a better understanding
    Of all of these it was only he who chose a seed worth planting
    He said, "Don't you know? You reap what you sow"

    So, he planted love
    And the crop that came up was more love
    And he shared what he had with those who had none
    And somehow even in the droughts he had enough
    He always had enough
    ‘Cause he grew friendship
    And everyone who knew him felt a kinship
    The world's a better place cause he was in it
    And though he died the harvest never ended, oh no
    It just grows and grows. It just grows and grows
    You reap what you sow
