[00:00.57]	ARCHIBALD:A bit of earth,
[00:35.25]	She wants a little bit of earth.
[00:35.53]	She'll plant some seeds.
[00:40.39]	The seeds will grow,
[00:42.91]	The flowers bloom,
[00:45.42]	But is their bounty
[00:47.23]	What she needs?
[00:50.68]	How can she chance
[00:53.31]	To love a little bit of earth?
[00:56.07]	Does she not know?
[01:01.36]	The earth is old,
[01:03.19]	And doesn't care if
[01:06.33]	One small girl wants things to grow.
[01:14.88]	She needs a friend.
[01:16.56]	She needs a father,
[01:18.59]	Brother, sister,
[01:19.72]	Mother's arms.
[01:23.45]	She needs to laugh.
[01:25.05]	She needs to dance,
[01:27.12]	And learn to work
[01:28.62]	Her girlish charm.
[01:31.61]	She needs a home,
[01:34.64]	The only thing she really needs
[01:37.09]	I cannot give.
[01:40.87]	Instead she asks
[01:42.83]	A bit of earth
[01:44.21]	To make it live!
[01:47.74]	She should have a pony,
[01:52.58]	Gallop 'cross the moor.
[01:55.99]	She should have a doll's house
[01:59.43]	With a hundred rooms per floor.
[02:03.27]	Why can't she ask for a treasure?
[02:07.23]	Something that money can buy,
[02:09.50]	That won't die!
[02:11.44]	When I'd give her the world,
[02:15.93]	She asks, instead
[02:18.70]	For some earth.
[02:26.75]	A bit of earth,
[02:30.31]	She wants a little bit of earth,
[02:33.22]	She'll plant some seeds.
[02:37.57]	The seeds will grow,
[02:40.88]	The flowers bloom,
[02:42.24]	Their beauty just the thing she needs.
[02:47.24]	She'll grow to love the tender roses,
[02:52.03]	Lilies fair, the iris tall.
[03:03.30]	And then in fall, her bit of earth
[03:09.40]	Will freeze and kill them all.
[03:18.84]	A bit of earth, a bit of earth,
[03:30.30]	A bit of earth, a bit of earth.
