A Seed Songtext
von Pat Surface

For centuries kids have cooled off in my shade and climbed my limbs
I′ve been home to bluebirds, I protect them from the wind
If you want the world to see your heart, carve it into me
But in the hands of a carpenter, I am so much more
I frame the memories on your wall, I swing on your front porch
And there's that table built with love, I bring together families

So don′t tell me you're too small to do amazing things
I was just a seed


I sang the chords to "Ring of Fire" when Janis strummed my strings
Babe Ruth held me in his hands, he took those mighty swings
How the Wright brothers got me in the air is anybody's guess
And I sailed Columbus over wild uncharted seas
Who′d have thought they′d nickname Andrew Jackson after me?
And on wagon wheels, I carried pioneers across the West

So don't tell me you′re too small to do amazing things
I was just a seed

I'm proud to hold you as you rock your little ones to sleep
Be that cross around your neck to show what you believe
They drape a flag upon me when a soldier′s laid to rest
So cut me down, take my life, that's when I′m at my best

Oh, don't tell me you're too small to do amazing things
A little grain of faith is all you need
And if I′ve helped you see all you can be
Then I was just a seed
I am just a seed
