Songtext von 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 Showing 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 and faith and grace, a little time We're all sons and daughters, just ripples on the water Try a make it matter until our time to leave One day, they'll carve your name in stone And send your soul on home Till 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 Till then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds Plantin' trees we'll never see Statues fall and glory fades But a hundred-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 Till then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds Till then it's prayin' for rain and pullin' up the weeds Plantin' trees we'll never see Trees we'll never see
