I'll take this song and I'll start it out softly
I'll sing it into your ear so you can know
Everything good starts out small
If its worth the wait it starts out slow
It's like planting a seed, it's such a small thing
You stick it way down deep in the dark
Where nobody sees it, but somehow
The sunlight still hits the mark
And it grows...
And it grows...
I was a child straight out of the womb of little measure
And a town mid-western and empty
As the hands he now extends to me
Oh, empty and free
He was a child of melancholy and a carpenter
Driving nails harder and harder
Into wood and my desire
He was stoking my fire
I'll take a one-way ticket back into the ground
Get covered in soil, I wanna get
Down on my knees, shed all my skin and my tears
So I can begin again
Resurrect my hope, crucify all the fear
Stay put till it's totally clear
It might take a little while before you see anything
Might have to go deep to get green
I wanna grow
I wanna grow
I wanna grow
I wanna grow...
I was a child straight out of the womb of little measure
And a town mid-western and empty
As the hands he now extends to me
Oh, empty and free
He was a child of melancholy and a carpenter
Driving nails harder and harder
Into wood and my desire
He was stoking my fire
