Lyrics
BEGINNING OF THE HARVEST
Well the leaves are turning
I see patches of orange
Im ready for changes
My hopes are soaring
People will gather
For just moments in time
Soon families will visit
And laugh while they dine
Its the beginning of the harvest
And to reap what we sow
After all the plowing
Where does the time go
Its the beginning of the harvest
We can reconnect
Make the days count
As our lives intersect
And theres farmers markets
With their homegrown food
Theyre selling their hard work
Linking neighborhoods
The feasts, songs and dishes
Taking cues from the past
They survive because we
Dont let the storms last
Its the beginning of the harvest
And to reap what we sow
After all the plowing
Where does the time go
Its the beginning of the harvest
We can reconnect
Make the days count
As our lives intersect
Traditions take hold
When we share what we know
I like how celebrations make
All our hearts glow
Repeat ch
