The Farmer drove his tractor where the soil had been tilled Planting Corn in rank and file from the silo to the lumber mill He rode along in silence as he looked out past the Honeysuckle field, Watched the water turn the waterwheel Thinking about his daughter with affection, Her reaction of disdain The day he replaced the blue Hydrangea with the climbing frame While her disappointed Sister looked on, Quiet as the snow, knowing well: Those who know don't talk And those who talk don't know But (tho she tried) She couldn't help but sing! The Tortoise in the wheelchair wrapped his forehead in a bandage Wore a plaster cast on his phony broken leg So he'd get pushed around the sidewalk by the Zookeeper's assistant With the Hummingbird observing from behind a yellow Flower, Flapping his tiny wings so fast you couldn't see them With resentment for the Tortoise (which was clear by his expression) But the Tortoise turned and smiled with a Peacefulness which proved There's a movement in our stillness and however much we move We're bound to stand completely still So let's stand completely still! Come, Tortoise, standing still - Go, Hummingbird, my will Letras de cancionesCome, Tortoise, stumbling blind - Go, Hummingbird, my eyes Come, Tortoise, letting go Go, Hummingbird, 'I know' Come Tortoise undefined - Go, Hummingbird, my mind Come Tortoise, empty hands - Go, Hummingbird, my plans Come, Tortoise, come and die - Go, Hummingbird, my I Goodbye, I!
