lyrics

A cherry seed was planted
In a garden on a hill
The soil was dry and nothing would bloom in the cold winter chill
No grass would root there
No flowers would grow
The ground was always buried
In a blanket of snow

Oh, oh, oh
It’s not always easy in the snow, oh, oh
To see the sun shine down
You’ll find your roots
Grow tall and strong
The sun will shine upon you
Just listen to this song

When winter came we were buried
Snow filled up the ground
The freezing wind that whistled
Was the only sound
No one thought to look out
At the cherry tree that grew
Until the snow stopped blowing all around
And our eyes could see right through

Oh, oh, oh
It’s not always easy in the snow, oh, oh
To see the sun shine down
You’ll find your roots
Grow tall and strong
The sun will shine upon you
Just listen to this song

When springtime came we went out
To the garden on the hill
To find the cherry tree was growing
Through the winter chill
The blossoms grew all summer
And then instead of snow
The ground was full of flowers
That finally could grow
