Growth
Leo Pastel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spent so much time down in the dirt I feel I got used to it
But I see the light
So what am I waiting for?
They say that it's too high, you'll never touch the sky, so boy don't even try
They've never seen man fly

I'm not saying that it's a simple feeling gon' take some effort to get it I know
And even though I do not see it I feel it
Life plants the seed and I...

Now we're gonna let it grow
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time
Now we're gonna let it grow
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time

We gotta let it grow
Organic ain't no chemical
We're so tired of the artificial
Want no artificial? No

Listen up, yeah I see you feel but we gon' pick it up
Yeah I feel the rain but it's a prescription
A heavy dose will clean out your system
If you let it
I wrote a letter, and sent it up to heaven
It said I'm failing, I need to do some healing, and I could use some help; out here drowning by myself

I'm not saying that it's a simple feeling gon' take some effort to get it I know
And even though I do not see it I feel it
Life plants the seed and I...

Now we're gonna let it grow
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time
Now we're gonna let it grow
Take your time




Take your time
Take your time
