The Pumpkin's Tale

[Verse]
We sprout from the ground in the heat of July
We grow and we glow as the clouds roll by
But beware
My young seeds
Of the October skies
For that's when they carve us and bake us in pies
[Chorus]
Oh Halloween’s near
The harvest is here
The scariest night of the year
Will you light up the dark or end up a tart
Pumpkin fate isn’t always so clear
[Verse 2]
An elder once told me
As vines intertwined
“Beware of the hands that are calloused and kind”
They’ll gut you and scoop you
Your seeds they’ll divide
Then bake your sweet flesh with some nutmeg inside
[Prechorus]
Some pumpkins get candles
Some pumpkins get crust
So shine while you can
Before you’re just dust
[Chorus]
Oh Halloween’s near
The harvest is here
The scariest night of the year
Will you light up the dark or end up a tart
Pumpkin fate isn’t always so clear
[Bridge]
They’ll tell you it’s honor to glow on the stoop
But it’s cold and it’s windy
And you’ll start to droop
And when the clock strikes twelve
Your glory is gone
You’ll rot in the garden till winter moves on
