By the Fruits of Their Labor

Bobby Kimmel, Kenny Edwards

[Verse 1]
Take the time to look around you
Look what's growin' from the seed you've sown
Take a look around you
By the fruits of their labor shall you know them

[Verse 2]
How much time do you waste talking
On and on about the good things you like to do
When all the good's in doing?
By the fruits of their labor shall you know them

[Bridge]
Without labor the grapes would never ripen on the vine
And never be pressed into wine
Make sure your harvest is taken safely inside
Don't let it wither and die

[Verse 3]
In the dark abyss of ignorance
It's impossible to make things grow
In the light of truth it's easy
By the fruits of their labor shall you know them

[Outro]
By the fruits of their labor shall you know them
Mm-mm
