A Prayer For Some Friends

Seed, you fear that nobody will see you
But if you never plant yourself, no one will
So plant yourself, plant yourself and heal

Winter tree, you're terrified that they'll all see
A disgrace in the gnarled skin that you can't love
Become naked, and come naked to me

Grow, grow
Old roots go so deep
And healing is slow
For fear has no faith
In redemption below
Don't live in a seasonless world
Dare to weep all your tears
And laugh all your laughter

Warm spring boughs, scared to let the new leaves out
Yes, they will leave you in the fall, but life gives more
Trust that they're, oh trust that they're not all.

Grow, grow
Old roots go so deep
And healing is slow
For fear has no faith
In redemption below
Don't live in a seasonless world
Dare to weep all your tears
And laugh all your laughter

Bleed into the ground with joy.
