V5.5

[Intro - acoustic guitar, handclaps, warm organ] Everybody wants the harvest... But somebody had to plant the seed. Somebody had to water it. Somebody had to keep showing up When there wasn't anything to see yet. [Beat comes in] So... What have you been planting? [Verse 1] Plant a little kindness Even if nobody knows Give a little patience And give somebody room to grow Speak a little courage When a friend has lost their way You never know what little seed Might become a tree someday Not everything happens The minute that you pray Some blessings grow quietly Underneath another day [Pre-Chorus] Keep showing up Keep giving love Keep doing what is right Some things are growing Long before They ever reach the light [Chorus] You're gonna harvest what you planted So plant something good today Plant some hope inside somebody Help them find another way Plant forgiveness Plant compassion Plant some laughter when you can You may never see the moment That a little seed becomes a plan But love has roots And faith grows strong So be careful what you hand it Someday you'll stand inside the field... And harvest what you planted [Verse 2] I've planted worry I've planted doubt And watched them both grow tall Spent some nights watering problems That weren't problems after all So now I'm changing what I'm growing Changing what I feed If I want a life with gratitude Then gratitude's the seed [Rap Break - energetic gospel groove] Seed in the dirt, faith in the ground Nothing up yet, but I'm sticking around Can't rush roots, can't hurry rain Good things growing don't happen in a day Word by word, choice by choice Plant some peace every time you use your voice Give out grace, let kindness spread Watch what happens when you water that instead No crop overnight No shortcut through What you keep planting keeps growing in you So check that soil Check that heart Today's a pretty good day to start! [Final Chorus - gospel choir builds] You're gonna harvest what you planted So plant something good today Plant some hope inside somebody Help them find another way Plant forgiveness Plant compassion Plant some laughter when you can Trust that God is doing something Even when you don't understand Love has roots And faith grows strong And someday when you least expect it... You'll look around at what has grown And thank God... That you planted it. [Outro - organ, acoustic guitar, choir humming] Plant good things. Then give them time to grow.
