Essays, Art and Plays by Dan

Here are the lyrics and I am working on recording it!

[Intro, Garden Ambience FX + Soft Banjo]
(Sometimes the truth grows slow…)
Out where the weeds know your name

[Verse 1, Rapped Verse, Grounded Flow]
Hands in the dirt, mind in the sky
Pullin’ up roots just to learn why
Every seed’s a chance, every weed’s a test
Some days it grows, some days it rests
But the soil don’t fake — it knows what’s best

[Pre-Chorus, Acoustic Layer + Soft Harmonica]
You can’t rush bloom, you can’t cheat time
What don’t sprout now might still climb
Water it well, then let it go
The garden speaks in a patient flow
And that silence teaches more than show

[Chorus, Soulful Hook with Gentle Harmony]
Dirt don’t lie, it just gives back truth
Takes what you plant, don’t care ‘bout youth
A garden don’t care who’s wrong or right
It just needs sun, it just needs night
Yeah, dirt don’t lie — and neither should I

[Verse 2, Rap Verse, Reflective Vibe]
I used to chase things that wouldn’t root
Now I talk to the wind and muddy boots
Tomatoes don’t grow from empty praise
Takes sweat, not likes, to earn these days
And the crows still come, but I bless their gaze

[Bridge, Spoken Word Over Minimal Beat + Insect FX]
[Quiet Arrangement, Fiddle Underneath]
This ain’t just dirt — it’s a mirror, a guide
You bury your hopes, but they bloom with pride
Even the flowers wilt, even thorns teach
And sometimes wisdom’s just outta reach
Till it rains… and the roots finally speak

[Chorus, Reprise with Vocal Lift]
Dirt don’t lie, it just gives back truth
Takes what you plant, don’t care ‘bout youth
A garden don’t care who’s wrong or right
It just needs sun, it just needs night
Yeah, dirt don’t lie — and neither should I

[Outro, Garden FX + Soft Fade Banjo]
(So I dig, and I learn, and I grow…)
Out here, the garden knows what I don’t show
