Barren Ground Song Lyrics

Good seed don't grow on the barren ground

There were people living in a green valley
Found a way to make a lot of money
Made the green turn gradually gray

They figured they could do whatever they wanted
Everything would be alright
But scars don't always heal away

And the sons and the daughters
Got diamonds and gold
But they were given a land where
Strong roots never take hold

Good seed don't grow on the barren ground
Good things don't come along
As you just sit dreaming on

Good seed don't grow on the barren ground
Say everything fades away, there you are still around
