Plant a seed and watch it grow
From the fruit it bears you'll know
If you till the soil of humanity
A flower will grow for the world to see

Place your hand safe in mine
I take you where the sun always shines
We, we will find a love so complete
Oh though we are bound as one our hearts will always, always be free

Well we've got to plant a seed my friend
And we've got to let the sun shine in
Well we've got to work all the meadows of your mind
And I know the world is a better place
For the whole human race
If we plant a seed of love sometime

If you plant a seed of love
You know you've got to reap a harvest of love
And if this love remains through the wind and the rain
Why, you've planted a tree, yes a tree, my friend

Well we've got to plant a seed, a little seed of love
In your heart now, plant a little seed of love
Every mornin', every night, plant a seed of love
Oh my brother can't ya help me plant a seed of love
Oh my sister plant a little seed of love
Every day now, plant a little seed of love
