Corrinne May - Beautiful Seed lyrics

rate me

I can fill the darkness with just one flash of light

Break the silence with just one word

Warm the fire-started revolution

One that can save the world

On the steps of Washington sprinkled like confetti

Thousands of people sing, "We shall overcome"

The preacher shouts, "Let freedom ring"

He gave his life for what he believed

You can be a witness, you can be a prophet

You can make the whole world believe

Break the strongest fortress, change the way the world thinks

You can build a bridge where foes can meet

Hope for the future, shout it, don't whisper

'cos dreams are what we make them to be

There is hope in every heartbeat, tiny as it seems

You're a beautiful seed

She's a pastor's daughter, she's only sixteen

But her heart and her belly are breaking at the seams

Her boyfriend blames her, he wants to pay

For the doctor to wash it away

As she lays in the hospital, a Christmas choir is singing

About a child in a manger fragile and small

"Unto us is born a Savior", she looks at her baby and cries

As she sings him a lullaby

You can be a witness, you can be a prophet

You can make the whole world believe

Break the strongest fortress, change the way the world thinks

You can build a bridge where foes can meet

Hope for the future, for the tiniest whisper

Dreams are what we make them to be

There is hope in every heartbeat, tiny as it seems

You're a beautiful seed

Every hope, every power

Lies in the heart of a seed that flowers

Intertwined all across the land

We're all seeds in the maker's hand
