Once there was a man of many means
Inherited from someone else's dreams
He said “one day I'll plough and sow the seeds
If only I could learn to tame the weeds”

And every time I get to the end
I turn round and start again
‘Cos they’re coming back
Can’t take it anymore
Can’t take it anymore
Tell me what is this for, ‘cause
I just can’t wait any longer
My heart won’t beat any stronger
This life is not for me

So off he went and bought some new machines
And chemicals to subjugate the seeds
But now the roots had multiplied and grown
And crowded out the seeds that he had sown

And underneath the setting sun
Now he knew it
All we saw was toil to come
And no way through

And every time I get to the end
I turn round and start again
‘Cos they’re coming back
Can’t take it anymore
Can’t take it anymore
Tell me what is this for, ‘cause
I just can’t wait any longer
My heart won’t beat any stronger
This life is not for me

(x2) Live, love, laugh, hope, sow, grow

But every time I get to the end
I turn round and start again
‘Cos they’re coming back
Can’t take it anymore
Can’t take it anymore
Tell me what is this for, ‘cause
I just can’t wait any longer
My heart won’t beat any stronger
This life is not for me

This life is not for me
