## [Hook] They said I was crazy, trading my suit for the soil But sometimes you gotta plant seeds of faith And trust in the work, trust in the toil Let heaven decide what grows in this place ## [Verse 1] Fluorescent lights were killing my soul Forty floors up from the ground Conference calls and quarterly goals But my heart kept making a different sound Like wind through the wheat, like rain on the land Like something was calling me home So I cleaned out my desk with my own two hands Said goodbye to the corporate dome Bought forty acres outside of town With the savings I'd kept for years While everyone said I was breaking down I was breaking through all my fears ## [Chorus] I'm planting seeds of faith in the morning light Trusting God and the earth to make it right What looks like failure to the world outside Is just the season where the old things die Seeds of faith, seeds of faith Growing stronger every day What they call crazy, I call grace Seeds of faith will find their way ## [Verse 2] First year was rough, I won't lie to you Blisters on hands that once held a pen Learning to read what the seasons do Starting over at fifty-ten Neighbors thought I'd lost my mind Trading stock options for stock and trade But I found something I'd left behind In every furrow that I made The earth don't care about your degree Just how you treat her sacred ground And she'll teach you everything you need If you listen to her ancient sound ## [Chorus] I'm planting seeds of faith in the morning light Trusting God and the earth to make it right What looks like failure to the world outside Is just the season where the old things die Seeds of faith, seeds of faith Growing stronger every day What they call crazy, I call grace Seeds of faith will find their way ## [Verse 3] Second season brought the rains just right Tomatoes bigger than my old boss's head Corn reaching toward the heaven's light Like prayers from the fertile bed Farmers market on Saturday People lining up for miles For the produce that I grow and pray Over with thanksgiving smiles Word spread fast through the whole county 'Bout the man who left his tower Now they're paying me a bounty For the blessing of each flower ## [Bridge] They ask me how I knew to take the leap How I traded security for seeds I tell them faith ain't something that you keep It's something that you plant when your heart needs To grow into the person you're meant to be To trust the Provider's plan Sometimes the greatest victory Is just using your own hands ## [Verse 4] Third year brought contracts with the stores Those same friends who called me fool Now they're knocking at my door Asking for the wisdom school Of how to leave what makes them sick For what makes their spirit whole How to make that crazy switch From paycheck to feeding souls I tell them it ain't about the money Though the blessing's pouring down It's about finding what feels like honey When the corporate world tastes brown ## [Verse 5] Now I wake up with the rooster's call Sun painting gold across my land I went from having nothing at all To holding abundance in my hand Not just the crops that feed the town But the peace that feeds my heart When you stop trying to fit the mold That's when your real life starts So to anyone who's feeling trapped In a life that ain't their own Sometimes the greatest map Is the calling in your bones ## [Final Chorus] Keep planting seeds of faith in the morning light Trust God and your heart to make it right What looks like failure to the world outside Is just the season where the old things die Seeds of faith, seeds of faith Growing stronger every day What they call crazy, I call grace Seeds of faith will find their way Seeds of faith will always find their way ## [Outro Hook] They said I was crazy, trading my suit for the soil But sometimes you gotta plant seeds of faith And trust in the work, trust in the toil Let heaven decide what grows in this place What grows in this place {Quote} "I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams..." - Henry David Thoreau
