lyrics

Sweet little angel she was only five, but she carried a vibration that was so alive
and always searching each and every day, for another piece of wisdom to carry on her way
Into the forest, we went walking one day, learning about the teachings of the nature way
She picked up a seed from a tree, she held it in her little hand she turned to me and said, daddy
If I plant this seed will it grow, what kind of blossom will the sunlight show
and if i drop that pebble in the sea, what kind of ripple will it bring back to me
The years moved on into the high school yard, learning about life sometimes it can be hard
She carried the spirit of the sunlight ray, walking softly upon her chosen way
Some of the others in the playground that day, they were being so unkind with the things that they would say
So she walked up to the biggest boy, looked him in the eye
and shared the message from her heart in the hope that he would realize
- Chorus -
She walked into the office with a streamlined submission
of sustainable energy because that was her mission
To support the earth, and show another way
imagine the surprise that she got on that day
The man behind the counter was 2 years from retire
He did not realize the situation was dire
Sorry lady we can’t help you on this day, i wonder what his grandchildren would say
I wonder what they would say
- Chorus -
So many moons passed, till on this day she saw
her grandchildren playing down by the shore
The little boy came running, to her cross the sand
offering a pebble that he held in his hand
Hey grandma, look what I have found, looks like it has travelled around and around
What kind of ripple will it bring back to me, if i drop that pebble in the sea
Now I’m not saying I’m doing it better that you, but if we put our hearts together see what we can do,
for the seeds that we plant into the earth
they will germinate and bring our future into birth yeah
If we plant pure seeds they will grow, beautiful blossoms in the sunlight will grow
and if we drop sweet pebbles in the sea, magical ripples will come back… to thee
