Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Pre Chorus 1

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

Chorus 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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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

Pre Chorus 2

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

Chorus 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

Refrain 1

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

Refrain 2

We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears

Chorus 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

Refrain 2

We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears
