[00:15.810] | And the weatherman said to my friend |
[00:18.510] | "What's your name?" |
[00:19.470] | My friend said |
[00:20.420] | "Write yours down, mine is almost the same." |
[00:23.320] | Erase the "S" and "M" in their place put a "G" and "R" |
[00:27.900] | And an "ND" look at me what's that say |
[00:31.020] | Then the weatherman stood with his head hung in shame |
[00:35.090] | He took off his big belt, put it down, turned away |
[00:38.900] | But my friend said |
[00:40.140] | "Don't leave, I just harvested beets, let's go eat at my place." |
[01:02.360] | With his mouth full ,the weatherman stared at his plate |
[01:06.090] | And he knew it was his heart that made my friend great |
[01:09.960] | Not his muscles, his money, his job or his name or his fame |
[01:14.840] | See my friend isn't famous |
[01:17.920] | He is just a good person who grows what he eats |
[01:21.920] | And if you have a mouth then he will try to feed you |
[01:26.000] | And if you are cold he'll put wood in the stove |
[01:29.720] | Grab a quilt and some warm flannel sheets |
[01:49.140] | So the Grand Champion called up Sam |
[01:52.700] | Champion said, "Let's plant a garden in the heart of this wasteland." |
[01:56.760] | And Sam said, "Hey man, this'll be breaking news," |
[02:00.250] | But Grand said, |
[02:01.300] | "I won't wait for your camera crews. |
[02:04.530] | See, I don't do what I do for the glory. |
[02:08.080] | I do what I do because it's a good story. |
[02:12.670] | I do what I do because there is a need and a hunger created by corporate greed. |
[02:21.020] | See there's a surplus of food in this country, |
[02:24.290] | And nobody should ever go to sleep hungry, |
[02:28.380] | But that food is kept under lock and key |
[02:31.900] | Considered a privilege for people with money." |
[02:52.590] | Then the weatherman dropped to his hands his knees |
[02:56.530] | With a tear in his eye and unable to speak |
[03:00.650] | He was driven to action by only compassion |
[03:04.640] | He dug in the dirt and he planted some beans |
[03:10.890] | Planted some beans |
[03:14.660] | Planted some beans |
[03:18.440] | Planted some beans |
[03:22.370] | Planted some beans |
[03:27.210] | Grandma said to me |
[03:28.710] | If you only have one bean |
[03:30.180] | And you meet someone with no bean |
[03:32.230] | You should give them half your bean |
[03:33.830] | Cause you will be less hungry |
[03:35.930] | If you eat just half a bean |
[03:37.440] | Than if you eat a whole bean in front of somebody with no bean. |
[00:15.810] | And the weatherman said to my friend |
[00:18.510] | " What' s your name?" |
[00:19.470] | My friend said |
[00:20.420] | " Write yours down, mine is almost the same." |
[00:23.320] | Erase the " S" and " M" in their place put a " G" and " R" |
[00:27.900] | And an " ND" look at me what' s that say |
[00:31.020] | Then the weatherman stood with his head hung in shame |
