Brian Hartt - Seeds Lyrics

You consistently crumble
In the face of good fortune
As if hope never gave you a choice

And so you give up before
You have to return to
The place you feel safe
And secure

But there's seeds
You can sow
In a field
You have harrowed
With every first step you don't take
And maybe you will someday
Don't worry, Brian, it's ok
Cause there's seeds

You'll make your peace
In a suit in your bathtub
Alone and by age 35

The terror of fire
Drowns out all the hope
That comes each time you open your eyes

You've come the river
One too many times
You know which way it'll flow

Dig in with your hands
To divert the water
And give crops what they need to grow

But there's seeds
You can sow
In a field
You have harrowed
With every first step you don't take
And maybe you will someday
Don't worry, Brian, it's ok
Cause there's seeds

Be patient seeker
I've followed you well
I know your feet are blistered
Cause you've wandered through hell
So warm up the soil
As you walk through the field
And hold out as you toil
Because the sunlight eventually heals
From seedling to sapling
To rot and decay
But you have to die first
Before you can be born again

But there's seeds
You can sow
In a field
You have harrowed
With every first step you don't take
And maybe you will someday
Don't worry, Brian, it's ok
Cause there's seeds
