Yesterday
Lying there by the back road
In a box

A little seedling tried to grow
Drying out in the cold but holding on
I took her home where its safe from the winter sun


But in the springtime
Blossoms all around

Ill take what was once mine
And put her in the ground


How it would feel
To spread your roots out
To grab the earth

To be in the ground

And when it rains

In the soil shell unfold
Branches high
Poised and regal in the sky

Birds will come
Build a home for their little ones
When im old

In her shade ill rest my bones

In the springtime

Blossoms all around
Ill take this little life
And put it in the ground


How it would feel
To spread your roots out

To grab the earth
To be in the ground
