From Aaron Mark Brown's 2014 release “Grow Something in the Ground”. http://www.aaronmarkbrown.com Lyrics: My son, this world is filled with shining things But not everything what it seems So when you're inside out and upside down And who and what is true cannot be found Whatever you do, don't your trust heart Your heart will be untrue, even to you Especially to you Whatever you do, don't trust your mind He's a traitor of another kind He'll fall to pieces to save himself Take your heart and your mind Take a walk outside and look around Then grow something in the ground Grow something in the ground Lay it all down on the ground And see what grows Grow something in the ground Grow something in the ground Lay it all down on the ground And see what grows You might learn where the rain comes from You might see the sunshine Whatever you think or feel You'll see some things are for real Grow something in the ground Grow something in the ground Lay it all down on the ground And see what grows You don't need to worry, simple son of earth You just plant the see and watch it grow There's no need to hurry That ain't how it works You just plant the seed And pray for rain You might learn where the rain comes from You might see the sunshine Whatever it is you wanted You might get what you need Grow something in the ground Grow something in the ground Lay it all down on the ground And see what grows Grow something in the ground

From Aaron Mark Brown's 2014 release “Grow Something in the Ground”. http://www.aaronmarkbrown.com Lyrics: You let the world grow cold around you You let the heavens pass you by You could have been the emperor But it would have been a lie You let the world grow cold around you You let the heavens cry above You should have been a gardener You should have been in love But you hide them away As if you're keeping them safe And your children all say "Who are the fathers now?" And you bribe them to stay Then you drive them away And your children still say "Who are the fathers now?" You let the world grow cold around you You let the heavens pass you by You could have been the emperor But it would have been a lie You let the world grow cold around you You let the heavens cry above You should have been a gardener You should have been in love Do you have the secret knowledge? Do you have the secret love? And do you keep it hidden From those below and those above? Well, I'll touch you on the rooftop And I'll touch you in the street I'll take your secret knowledge To everyone I meet You let the world grow cold around you You let the heavens pass you by You have become the emperor But only in your mind You let the world grow cold around you You let the heavens cry above You should have been a gardener You should have been in love

From Aaron Mark Brown's 2012 release "Realities of Grandeur". http://www.aaronmarkbrown.com Lyrics: Where did you go? Why did you leave? What makes me think that it's you and not me? They're wasting their money I'm wasting their time 'Cause I need a love of a deeper kind It's good to feel useful Not to feel used But that's what you get when you are what you do They figured me in I figured it out And I believe I can live without But like a well-trained dog I come a'boundin' back Drink my coffee down and have a heart attack I've been going any way the wind blows Hoping that it won't show Living 'cause I'm too young to die Where did you go? Why did you leave? What makes me think that it's you and not me? I'm looking for meaning I'm looking for cash Need a weaker mind and a stronger back What did you say? What does in mean? What are these lines I'm reading between? You're breaking my will You're breaking my heart And I believe that's a pretty good start But like a well-trained dog I come a'boundin' back Drink my whiskey down and have a heart attack I've been going any way the wind blows Hoping that it won't show Living 'cause I'm too young to die It's an uphill fight to live a simple life Working with my hand and sleeping with my wife But I do believe we're gonna make it Not content to fake it Holding out for something that's real You're breaking my will You're breaking my heart And I believe that's a pretty good start

From Aaron Mark Brown's 2012 release "Realities of Grandeur". http://www.aaronmarkbrown.com Lyrics: Lazy fox, you don't build or sow You just sit and wait For spring to come again You're winter thin It seems a sin But you sit and wait For hapless prey to stray along Lazy jay, you don't fly away You just sit and wait To be struck by a song Then you'll sing along Not counting on The strength of God But on the weakness of your foe On mid-winter's morn The two meet alone In field and on fence There's a cold, sideways glance Then feather and fur Are all a'blur Then beak and tale It's a greedy fox Who swallows more than he can chew Lazy fox, you don't move or stir You'l just lay and wait For spring to come again And you'll turn then Back into earth Leaving skull and bone The only sign you ever were
