[Verse 1] I found a rusted can lid Packed with dirt and green In the back of an old drawer Where forgotten things still dream Two little beans of hope Clicked against my hand I laughed and slipped them in my coat Like a map I didn’t plan [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Leave it be.” I carried one small spark Down inside my pocket Past the weather and the dark [Chorus] Pocketful of seeds Pocketful of seeds Something small can wake Something wild in me Pocketful of seeds Pocketful of seeds What you call a scrap I call a reason to breathe [Verse 2] I walked out to the yard Where nothing much would grow Rain leaned on the broken fence Like it had nowhere else to go I covered them with quiet dirt And let the daylight pass Some things don’t ask permission Before they push through grass [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Leave it be.” I carried one small spark Down inside my pocket Past the weather and the dark [Chorus] Pocketful of seeds Pocketful of seeds Something small can wake Something wild in me Pocketful of seeds Pocketful of seeds What you call a scrap I call a reason to breathe [Bridge] Now a line of green Cuts across the yard Small enough to miss Strong enough to guard When the daylight thins I reach into my coat Just to remember how Hope can travel light [Final Chorus] Pocketful of seeds Pocketful of seeds Something small can wake Something wild in me Pocketful of seeds Pocketful of seeds What you call a scrap I call a reason to breathe Pocketful of seeds Pocketful of seeds I kept that little light And it kept growing me
