  • Century Plant

    Outside my house is a cactus plant
    they call the century tree.
    Only once in a hundred years,
    it flowers gracefully.
    And you never know when it will bloom.

    Hey! Do you wanna come out,
    and play the game?
    It’s never too late.

    Hey! Do you wanna come out,

    It’s never too late.

    Clementine Hunter was fifty four
    before she packed up and came.
    Old Uncle Taylor was eighty one
    when he rode his bike
    across the plains of China (Uh huh).

    And the sun was shining
    on that day.
    Just like today.

    Do you wanna come out,
    and play the game?
    It’s never too late.
    Hey! Do you wanna come out,

    Didn’t know how to tell her
    for over thirty years,
    he kept locked up inside himself
    and no one saw the tears.
    And then she went away,
    and he woke up that day

    Now he brings roses
    to his sweetheart,
    she lives most anywhere.
    He sees someone sufferin’
    he knows that despair.
    He offers them a rose
    and some quiet prose,
    ’bout dancin’ in the shimmerin’ ballroom.
    ‘Cause you never know when
    they will bloom.
