Sooner or Later (The Turtle Song)


I see my life in days and nights,
Like a flower in the field,
In the field like a chlorophyll soldier,
Blooming and stretching for the sun,
I'll catch that light and then I'll be done,
Beautiful in bloom and soon to wilt,
But I'm not really dying,
I'm livin' on here's a song to carry on,

Sooner or later we all grow older,
Standing in fields like chlorophyll soldiers,
Beautiful and dying.
We make the ground grow fertile,
and sooner or later we are food for a turtle.

And as I'm sitting in the grass,
Spreading myself until the sun has passed,
I know that I will never really be gone,
Constantly present in the lives of others,
My body and spirit creates my brothers,
Beautiful in bloom and soon to wilt,
Don't be sad and don't be crying,
I'm livin' on here's a song to carry on,

Sooner or later we all grow older,
Standing in fields like chlorophyll soldiers,
Beautiful and dying.
We make the ground grow fertile,
and sooner or later we are food for a turtle.


And as I'm walkin' on the road,
I see a flower and I just know,
That sitting in the field like a chlorophyll soldier,
Fighting for light until it gets older,
It'll be beautiful and wilting,
And just after tilting it will,
Yeah it will help the ground grow fertile,
and sooner or later be food for a turtle.

And so the story goes,
you'll never be gone.
Don't depress and don't you worry,
You'll be beautiful and wilting,
and help the ground grow fertile,
and sooner or later be food for a turtle.
