Now I have lost some good friends
To drugs and alcohol
If you live by drawing straws
One day you’re bound to fall

Some died on the highway
Some died by their own hands
For reasons I will never know
Or ever understand

But you reap what you sow
There's all kinds of seeds
So plant what is good
And only what you need

If you'll plant in your spring
You will harvest in your fall
But you'll die without deed
If you don't plant at all

‘Cause it’s a mighty fine line
Between heaven and hell
There’s no guarantee
That your garden won’t fail

But there’s something to learn
From the failures we know
And make no mistake
You will reap what you sow

Now your time here on Earth
Is but a blink of an eye
One day you’re here
The next day you die

Where you’re going from here
You’ve been headed since birth
And what you reap after this
Is what you’ve sown here on Earth

And you'll reap what you sow
So sow what is good
Live by your heart
And love like you should

If you'll reach out your hand
A hand will be there
You only live twice
So make this life a prayer

‘Cause it’s a mighty fine line
Between heaven and hell
There’s no guarantee
That your garden won’t fail

But there’s something to learn
From the failures we know
And make no mistake
You will reap what you sow

Yes there’s something to learn
From the failures we know
And make no mistake
We will reap what we sow
