You ceased to mow the lawn ten years ago

You just wanted to see how your garden would grow

You abandoned the pruning shears and welcomed each weed

You permitted the soil to select its own seed


But it would be unfair to assume you don't care

For you pay great attention to all that goes there

You simply abstain from a plan or design


You just let it all hang out and take its own time

You just let it all hang out and take its own time


And you follow a thread in a book that you've read

Or in something that someone you heard somewhere said

You say “It's all connected, it's all intertwined


If you let it all hang out and take its own time

If you let it all hang out and take its own time”


Now you don't move too fast, you make it all last

You encounter a moment before it is past

And you say “Walking slow in this world is no crime”


You just let it all hang out and take its own time

You just let it all hang out and take its own time …
