lyrics

I've got the eye of the veggie. I can make it, I'm strong.
My roots are growing very long.
I've got the eye of the veggie. I'm growing, with pride.
My leaves are spreading green and wide

There's something you need to know
It takes a long long time to grow
You just have to go with the flow
Or you will feel frustration
You may be in a drought
And you won't be able to sprout
But don't begin to doubt
Improve your situation

I've got the eye of the veggie. I can make it, I'm strong.
My roots are growing very long.
I've got the eye of the veggie. I'm growing, with pride.
My leaves are spreading green and wide

You shouldn't even blink
At what other people think
Just give yourself a wink
And show determination
Whenever your roots are bound
And it's got you feeling down
Just turn your day around
And have a celebration

I've got the eye of the veggie. I can make it, I'm strong.
My roots are growing very long.
I've got the eye of the veggie. I'm growing, with pride.
My leaves are spreading green and wide
My leaves are spreading green and wide
