When a little seed buds I feel the growing weight of you Gave the innocent girl warmth from the stone-like body with a heart You’ll trace the world Not written in the picture book you've read Fingers move back and forth That’s how we made it here Out of the cradle that raised you Out of the cradle that raised you To the stable land below you Each time you remember this melody Know you’re loved Go into the glow while I'm in a doze longer than usual Time can kill an ancient tree Can also grow a little seed Dear maiden, take my thought inside Feel the breath of all life Now the horizon bears the light Under the sun, pray for you Hope my pulse stays with you Another day, another pain The farther you go What you see and who you touch Might leave wounds that hurt you over and over again But don’t be scared Open your hands So that love can heal Keep feeding the seed It could flourish I know you know that’s how we live Out of the cradle that raised you To the stable land below you I might be too worried Without me, know you’re loved Go into the glow while I'm in a doze longer than usual Time can kill an ancient tree Can also grow a little seed Day after day the gentle light will change you over time As spring cloaks herself in green You'll wear the warmth around you One fleeting era's faded here Nothing more human than this Now the horizon bears the light Under the sun, pray for you Now the sky bears the light Your pulse will stay with mine
