I played my friend my favorite song Watched her face instead of my phone By the second chorus she was singing along And I felt it twice as strong I've driven an hour for dumplings Just to watch her take the first taste Funny how a joy isn't finished Till it shows up on somebody's face I've been easily pleased, I confess it Splashing in puddles in sight of the sea If that's what a melody pulls from my chest If that's what a table can do What would it light in this half-awake heart To watch somebody fall for You I want to see You loved I want to be there when it happens When somebody finds the Pearl And trades the world for gladness So I'm sowing where no rust can go 'Cause this heart will follow where I sow I want to see You loved Oh, I want to see You loved I started small, I'll be honest One name while the coffee brewed I didn't feel fire, just a flicker But I spent like the fire was true You said the heart would trail its treasure So I sent a little ahead Slow dinners, long walks, heavy questions And her name every night before bed I want to see You loved I want to be there when it happens When somebody finds the Pearl And trades the world for gladness So I'm sowing where no rust can go 'Cause this heart will follow where I sow I want to see You loved Oh, I want to see You loved Then my friend went under the water The one I had carried since freshman year She rose and found me crying Said "Thank you for bringing me here Jesus saved me when I was drowning" Then a joy that was never just mine Broke open the doors of the party That heaven's been throwing all this time They say those who sow in their weeping Come home with their arms full of grain And the tears only deepen the vessel More room for the joy than the pain And if any crown survives the fire It was Yours before it was gold I'm only carrying it home to You With the rest of the harvest I hold We want to see You loved We want to be there when it happens When a crowd no man can number Trades the world for gladness So we're sowing where no rust can go 'Cause our hearts will follow where we sow We want to see You loved Oh, we want to see You loved And it lands on me gentle as rainfall Somebody carried me too Somewhere a prayer with my name inside it Rose while the coffee brewed Whoever you are, I'm your harvest The treasure you sent on ahead I'm coming to find you at the party To say what she came back and said Open our eyes to the riches You've hidden in faces we know Give us a name for the morning And a love that won't let them go We want to see You loved (We want to see You loved)
