The Seed Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a chance that I'm dying
There's a chance I won't be around
To hear our babies crying
Baby, hush. I'm running out of sounds
Like the smoke in my lungs, I'm bound
To end up as ash in the ground
If I'm a man, and I am
Then we'll all end up this way
When I die, you can bury me however you want
By that time, don't worry about me, I'll be long gone
Like the morning that fog that cleared
Like the dark things you used to fear
Everything gets better with the coming of that day
Sing this as my body's lowered down
Hallelujah!
I'm a seed that's spending some time underground
Hallelujah!
If you want to grow an orchard, then you've got to kill some seeds
That's just how I feel about death and me
I heard that Jesus wept
His best friend died, and he cried over him
But he brought him back, and I bet he can do it again
Lovely, don't you cry for me!
Jesus said a seed must die
So Lovely, don't you cry
Come on, reaper, you can have the rest of me
I'm a marked man already, and I'm quite ready
Tell the man with the shovel who's tired of digging my grave
I'm only sleeping and tomorrow I'm going to wake
We're all sleeping, and tomorrow we're all going to wake up
