[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.
