about

This is a track from 'All the World is Sacred', which was my second album especially for children. Over the years, I had great fun singing with children on visits to hundreds of schools in Australia, and quite a few in Ireland too.

lyrics

LOOKING FOR THE SEED

Looking for the seed. Looking for the seed.

I'm looking for the seed that grows in me,
Grows to be like a flower.
I'm looking for the seed that grows to be
A sun-loving flower.
Looking for the seed. Looking for the seed.

People always asking me what I want to be
But I don't know.
People always ask me, but all I know is:
Earth is the soil. God is the sun. I am the seed.
Earth is the soil. God is the sun. I am the seed.

Yes, I'm looking for the seed that grows in me,
Grows in me like a flower.
I'm looking for the seed that grows to be
A sun-loving flower.
Looking for the seed. Looking for the seed.

What will be the special thing
That I can bring into the world?
Maybe something special, but all I know is:
Earth is the soil. God is the sun. I am the seed.
Earth is the soil. God is the sun. I am the seed.

Yes, I'm looking for the seed that grows in me,
Grows in me like a flower.
I'm looking for the seed that grows to be
A sun-loving flower.
Looking for the seed. Looking for the seed.
[A tiny seed in the darkness of the soil]
Looking for the seed. Looking for the seed.

Jesus said that mighty Tree
From a little seed can surely grow.
Jesus sure was mighty, but all I know is:
Earth is the soil. God is the sun. I am the seed.
Earth is the soil. God is the sun. I am the seed.
Earth is the soil. God is the sun. I am the seed.
Earth is the soil. God is the sun. I am the seed.
I am the seed. I am the seed.

Yes, I'm looking for the seed that grows in me,
Grows in me like a flower.
I'm looking for the seed that grows to be
A sun-loving flower.
