Couplet 1

We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears
Waiting for signs of growth
Took months of days
And then takes years

Couplet 2

We took our steps
We took our falls
Somewhere along the way
We just got lost
And we lost it all

Pré-Refrain

But nothing ventured nothing gained
The risk of living is the pain
And what will be will be anyway

Refrain 1

Oh it's better not to know
The way it's gonna go
What will die and what will grow
Goodbye more than hello
It's better not to know

Couplet 3

Those tiny stems became these trees
With dirt and storm
And sun and air to breathe
Like you and me

Couplet 4

And some fell down
And some grew tall
And those surviving
Twenty winter thaws
Have the sweetest fruit of all

Pré-Refrain 2

But innocence and planting day
Are both long gone
So much has changed
And if we had to do it all again

Refrain 2

Oh it's better not to know
The way it's gonna go
What will die and what will grow
Oh nothing stays the same
Life flickers like a flame
As the seasons come and go
Goodbye more than hello
It's better not to know

Boucle 1

Is it better
Better not to know
Is it better
Is it better

Boucle 2

We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears

Refrain 3

Oh it's better
Not to know
The way it's gonna go
What will die
And what will grow
Oh nothing stays the same
Life flickers like a flame
As the seasons come and go
Goodbye more than hello
What comes of what we sow
It's better not to know

Boucle 2

We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears
