Sand & Seed

Well, well, this house I made out of bricks

Is acting more like sand

And when I try to pick it up

Starts slipping through my hands

The door's been kicked in, window's broken

Walls are caving in

The foundation's sinking, I've been thinking

There's no saving it

I can't let it go

This is my home

Maybe the songs I sing

Are so I remember what life brings

Life sings its songs to me

So I, I am not afraid, yeah

Well, I've been working in these fields

For as long as I can recall

But every time I see the growth

The spring, it turns to fall

Well, God made this ground fickle

And in turn, hard to control

And now I've found myself in a pickle

Thanks to my sins and empty soul

This dirt is dry as bone

And it hasn't rained for days

And all of the clouds up in the sky

Are blocking all of the sun's rays

Buried deep into the ground

Amidst the worms and dirt

Sits a lonely seed I found

I wonder what it's worth

I'll make this seed grow

All on my own

Maybe the songs I sing

Are so I remember what life brings

Life sings its songs to me

So I, I am not afraid

Well, I bet if these walls could talk, they wouldn't

They wouldn't say anything at all

And I bet if these roots could walk, they wouldn't

They would just stumble and they would fall

I can't let it go

This is my home

I'll make this seed grow

All on my own

Maybe the songs I sing

Are so I remember what life brings

Life sings its songs to me

So I, I am not afraid

Maybe the songs I sing

Are so I remember what life brings

Life sings its songs to me

So I, I am not afraid
