Tekst en muziek: Joost Belinfante

one day in her garden
my granny said son
I want you to know
when I’ll be gone
the one thing I learned
livin in this world
so smell these flowers
remember this song

lovin, luck and time to live
is all you need
cause the seed contains the flower and
the flower bears the seed

when I was in my teens
the world was young
a world of girls
the pull was strong
so I started roaming around
in this brave new world
my lessons I learned
my living I earned

and I allways returned to
where all ends meet
as the seed contains the flower
and the flower bears the seed

we’re time-travellers
travelling at the speed of life
no looking ahead
no going back
we’re time- travellers
moving on

I ve seen so many a hobo
come and go
they’re all after the secret
they all want to know
I’ve seen so many a wanderer
just like me
we’re all after the secret
if only we could see

we would have the answer
make life complete
as the seed contains the flower and
the flower bears the seed

now I am an old man
age sixty five
I travelled around
at the speed of life
got me a wife
and she got me a girl
and the girl got kids
in a whole new world

lovin, luck and time to live
is all you need
as the seed contains the flower and
the flower bears the seed
