There's a little seed that’s planted, in the soil underground
I'm watching and I'm waiting, for it to come around
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow,
I know it needs some time, to sprout and to take root
But I'm excited for the day, it breaks through and starts to shoot
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
Grow grow grow grow grow,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
We’ll be waiting for you,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
There's a sapling I'm protecting, from the wind and from the rain
I'm tending to its every need, so it won't feel any pain
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow,
I know it needs some time, to grow tall and reach the sky
But I'm excited for the day, it will spread its branches high
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
Grow grow grow grow grow,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
We’ll be waiting for you,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
There's a bud I'm observing, as it prepares to bloom
I'm patiently waiting, for its colour to light the room
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow,
I know it needs some time, to open up and show its face
But I'm excited for the day, that it’s colour fills the place
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
Grow grow grow grow grow,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
We’ll be waiting for you,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow

Now an experienced hand at timed songwriting challenges, Ben took on the February Album Writing Challenge on his own (well, with a little help) in 2019. This is the result. Softwire
This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
