1)
I hold a seed in my hand it looks like a heart

With seam down the middle that keeps it together

That’s where it breaks apart

Put the seed in the ground

And you ask it to die

So a new life can start

And reach up toward the sky

Oh, when it’s ready

It will grow, when it’s ready


2)
So you say that your life’s been shattered

You’re sitting alone in the dark

Can’t find your direction

You’ve lost your spark

Well let me tell you all things in their time will grow

Some a little faster

Some movin’ slow

Oh, when they’re ready

They will grow, when they’re ready


Break:

Have a little patience, take your time

The wheel’s gonna turn and you’ll be fine

Everything you need is right behind….you

Oh, ready


3)
The wisdom of the seed

is that it remembers all it used to be

A sprout, a bud, a leaf, a flower, a tree

And you best believe that same is true for you and me

All you were, all you are becoming

From a seed

Oh, when you’re ready

You will grow, when you’re ready


Yeah, ready

We will grow, when we’re ready

When we’re ready

When we’re ready

Ready
