== Draft lyrics ==
=== Verse 1 ===
It's so hard to reach out for the stars<br>
When I live in a gray padded cell.<br>
Trapped in my head, I have drifted so far<br>
From the story my heart wants to tell.<br>
It's a story of kinship and roots, joining me to all life<br>
In a glorious family tree.<br>
It's a story of vision and wings and the wide-open sky,<br>
possibilities yearning to be!
=== Chorus ===
:I'm a seed - hidden deep yet reaching for the sun.
:I'm a seed - invisibly my journey has begun.
:I'm a seed - I will find a way across the night.
:I'm a seed - another world is growing toward the light.
=== Verse 2 ===
I must join the tribe that will make these dreams real,<br>
But I never learned how to belong.<br>
And how can I find those who share my ideals<br>
When the world says ideals are all wrong?<br>
But I know that by striving together, our courage will grow<br>
And with love for each other we'll thrive<br>
As we learn to believe in our power, we'll finally know<br>
That we've all become fully alive!
=== Chorus ===
:We're a seed - hidden deep yet reaching for the sun.
:We're a seed - invisibly our journey has begun.
:We're a seed - we will find a way across the night.
:We're a seed - another world is growing into sight.
=== Verse 3 ===
But each footprint we leave on the Earth<br>
Is a wound we don't know how to heal.<br>
We try to step lightly, but cannot be sure<br>
That our world will survive this ordeal.<br>
So we need to rejoin the great pattern that all creatures weave<br>
And learn wisdom as old as the sun.<br>
Then our cities and farms will be friends to the forests and seas<br>
And we'll flourish together as one!
=== Chorus ===
:We're a seed - hidden deep yet reaching for the sun.
:We're a seed - invisibly our journey has begun.
:We're a seed - we will find a way across the night.
:We're a seed - another world is ready to take flight!
=== Verse 4 ===
Seeds that float on darkness,<br>
Seeds blossoming in stone.<br>
Earth will send her children<br>
To grow themselves new homes.<br>
And when we meet the others,<br>
Seeds drifting from afar,<br>
We'll join them in their mission<br>
To take root amongst the stars!
=== Chorus ===
:I'm a seed - hidden deep yet reaching for the sun.
:I'm a seed - invisibly my journey has begun.
:I'm a seed - I will find a way across the night.
:I'm a seed - another world is growing toward the light.
