You have called me to give up
the one thing I knew I wanted
when nothing else was sure
Will you bury me
I gave everything
I have nothing more
I am nothing more
I am the seed
fell from the tree
all of the falling, aching, dying
has broken me
you have called me to let go
promises of who I could be
better than anything I am on my own
lying in dirt and weeds
pressure hurting me
why can't I stay the way I am?
what's wrong with the way I am?
you suffocate me
that's what I need
stretching, changing
you remake me
you sent the rain, I thought I would drown
I stubbornly tried to stay in the ground
you reached out, made me grow
gentle sun on me
I rise above, I'm free
never knew I could be so strong
you saw this ending all along
I was the seed
fell from the tree
all of the falling, aching, dying has broken me
