The Garden


To you I'm just a seed in a garden

Under the trees

Planted in the ground

I soak up all around

But I'm sure all you see is a seed in a garden

Unheard to you

As I plant my roots 

I gain knowledge and power

And the trust of the garden

That one day I will blossom

But I'm sure all you see is a seed in a garden

The day has come for me to sprout

The moon is gone the sun is out

My mind is strong

Your mind is lost

Before you say a seed is just a seed

Ask it if it knows God's Destiny
