Lyrics by @smajor1

Bindweed

Verse 1
I'm a young stalk of corn
climbin' up to the sun
brave and unhindered
life is such fun

God, how I burgeon
roots deep in the earth
I don't see the dangers
that threaten my birth

Chorus
Bindweed, that bindweed,
I think I might die
if that strangling bindweed
climbs too high

Verse 2
But the bindweed is growin'
just like I do now
“I will choke you to death”
is its single vow.

I have no defense
'gainst this terrible weed.
It's going to kill me
because of its greed.

Bridge:
Only human hands
can save me, I know,
tear out the bindweed,
and allow me to grow.
