Sow the Seed

Sow the seed
Watch it grow
It may take time
Cause the sun don't always shine
But even the rain is greatly appreciated
Watering by sorrow
Replenishing for joy
Some reapers may come along
To chop down our fields
Sow the seed 
Not in fire
For it will scorch and burn the earth
The reapers who tried will wilter
But not our seed
For we have faith
Even if it is only as big as a mustard seed
But a seeds a seed
Meaning it was made to blossom
For something to erupt from it
Sow the seed
Watch it grow
Watch the wind make it dance
