Trees We'll Never See
Good sweet earth
Sleeves rolled up and hands buried in the dirt
I can see you there in one of dad's old shirts
Showin' me how life's supposed to work
Good straight lines
You need seed and sweat and soil and sweet sunshine
And once those roots take hold, you'll be just fine
It's a beautiful design
It just takes love (love) and faith (faith) and grace, a little time
We're all sons and daughters, just ripples on the water
Tryna make it matter until our time to leave
One day, they'll carve your name in stone
And send your soul on home
'Til then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds
Plantin' trees we'll never see
First day of spring
The whole world's wakin' up and turnin' green
And everything connects to everything
It's a beautiful design
It just takes love and faith and grace, a little time
We're all sons and daughters, just ripples on the water
Tryna make it matter until our time to leave
One day, they'll carve your name in stone
And send your soul on home
'Til then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds
Plantin' trees we'll never see
Statues fall and glory fades
But a 100-year-old oak tree still gives shade
We're all sons and daughters, just ripples on the water
Tryna make it matter, until our time to leave
One day, they'll carve our name in stone
And send our souls on home
'Til then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds
'Til then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds
Plantin' trees we'll never see
Trees we'll never see
Sleeves rolled up and hands buried in the dirt
I can see you there in one of dad's old shirts
Showin' me how life's supposed to work
Good straight lines
You need seed and sweat and soil and sweet sunshine
And once those roots take hold, you'll be just fine
It's a beautiful design
It just takes love (love) and faith (faith) and grace, a little time
We're all sons and daughters, just ripples on the water
Tryna make it matter until our time to leave
One day, they'll carve your name in stone
And send your soul on home
'Til then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds
Plantin' trees we'll never see
First day of spring
The whole world's wakin' up and turnin' green
And everything connects to everything
It's a beautiful design
It just takes love and faith and grace, a little time
We're all sons and daughters, just ripples on the water
Tryna make it matter until our time to leave
One day, they'll carve your name in stone
And send your soul on home
'Til then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds
Plantin' trees we'll never see
Statues fall and glory fades
But a 100-year-old oak tree still gives shade
We're all sons and daughters, just ripples on the water
Tryna make it matter, until our time to leave
One day, they'll carve our name in stone
And send our souls on home
'Til then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds
'Til then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds
Plantin' trees we'll never see
Trees we'll never see
