A tiny seed is cast upon the wind to fall on fertile land
This seed will find a bed, this seed knows no fear
This seed knows no fear, for fear has no place in this path
This path of life and death, life and death
Death and life again, ever turns the wheel
Turn, turn, turn
A tiny seedling struggles through the soil to try and reach the sun
This seed will reach the sun, this seed knows no fear ...
This seed knows no fear, for fear has no place in this path
This path of life and death, life and death
Death and life again, ever turns the wheel
Turn, turn, turn
The mystery of the land, the mystery of the wind and rain
The mystery of the heart
The mystery of the partnership, you and strong
But no stronger than me, except when I need you to be
A tiny flower struggles to unfold to try and feel the wind
This flower will feel the wind, this flower knows no fear
This flower knows no fear, for fear has no place in this path
This path of life and death, life and death
Death and life again, ever turns the wheel
Turn, turn, turn
The mystery of the land, the mystery of the wind and rain
The mystery of the heart
The mystery of the partnership, you and strong
But no stronger than me, except when I need you to be
