Seeds Lyrics

Performed by Kathy Mattea on "Lonesome Standard Time"
Submitted by Ken Arnold
Intro: CaddG F C Am7 G F C G C F C
Sometimes I stop on my way home
And watch the children play
And I wonder if they wonder
What they'll be some day
Some will dream a big dream
And make it all come true
While others go on dreaming
Of things they'll never do.
Chorus:
We're all just seeds in God's hands.
We start the same but where we land
Is sometimes fertile soil and sometimes sand.
We're all just seeds in God's hands.
Interlude: CaddG F C Am7 G F C G C F C
I saw a a friend the other day
I hardly recognized.
He'd done a lot of living
Since I'd last looked in his eyes.
He told his tale of how he'd failed
The lessons he'd been taught.
But he offered no excuses
And he left me with this thought.
Repeat Chorus
And as I'm standing at a crossroads once again
I'm reminded we're all the same when be begin
And in the end...
Repeat Chorus
We're all just seeds in God's hands.
Ending: CaddG F C Am7 G F C G C F C
