Some Seeds

I ain't after coins or pity

Just telling how it is

You sow the seeds, you raise 'em

And then they're given to the wind

I had half a brother

Sonny bore the curse of soured love

Those silent screams

They haunt me

Ain't that the way of flesh and blood

Some seeds they fall by the river

Some seeds they drown in the sea

Some lives are lost and others chosen

We're all some seeds

Those eye's were almost closed by the beating

Sat there listening to darkness on the edge of town

We swore we'd find a place where hearts were heard

Yeah together we'd find our way out

Well I grew up in the shadow of those dreams

Settled down, did my best to survive

I was on shift at the old abattoir

Round the time Sonny took his own life

Some seeds they fall by the river

Some seeds they drown in the sea

Some lives are lost and others chosen

We're all some seeds

Now I'm a step or two, until the twilight

In pastures new, I bask alone

There's a dragon fly burning up inside of me

From what I read, I don't have long

So play the music, break the bread and fine wine me

I'll see out these days on lessons learnt

Each night I pray my little girl, she'll find me

And be there for my final verse

Some seeds they fall by the river

Some seeds they drown in the sea

Some lives are lost and others chosen

We're all some seeds

We're all some seeds

Taken by the wind

Taken by the wind
