CHAUNTEA — “Where the Green Things Grow”

[Intro] Oh-oh Put your hands into the earth Oh-oh Feel the world come back to life [Verse 1] Morning rises over fields of gold Another story waiting to unfold Bare feet walking where the rivers run Seeds are waking underneath the sun Every furrow, every drop of rain Every winter sleeping in the grain Nothing living ever grows alone Every root remembers where it's home [Pre-Chorus] So plant a little hope And give it time Trust the rain Trust the light What we give the earth today Will rise again someday [Chorus] Chauntea Where the green things grow Where the warm winds carry Every seed we sow Chauntea Mother of the land Life begins again Whenever you touch the ground From the smallest flower To the tallest tree Everything alive Is part of you and me Chauntea Where the green things grow We give to the earth And the earth gives us home [Verse 2] Summer dances underneath the sky Golden wheat is standing shoulder-high Hands together gathering the grain Clouds are rolling, bringing back the rain There are seasons when the branches bare There are days when nothing seems to care But beneath the frost, beneath the snow Something waits for warmer winds to blow [Pre-Chorus] So plant a little hope And give it time Trust the earth Trust the light Every ending feeds a start Every seed contains a heart [Chorus] Chauntea Where the green things grow Where the warm winds carry Every seed we sow Chauntea Mother of the land Life begins again Whenever you touch the ground From the smallest flower To the tallest tree Everything alive Is part of you and me Chauntea Where the green things grow We give to the earth And the earth gives us home [Post-Chorus] Grow, grow Reach for the sun Grow, grow Life has begun Rain falls Wind blows Round and round The whole world grows [Bridge] There is a time for planting A time to let things bloom A time to fill the table A time to make more room A time to lose the daylight A time to watch it rise The earth has never promised An everlasting summer sky But after every winter When everything seems gone Deep beneath the silent soil Life is holding on [Breakdown] Seed Rain Root Grain Sun Earth Begin again [Final Chorus] Chauntea Where the green things grow Where a thousand colors Rise from seeds we sow Chauntea Mother of the land Life begins again Whenever you touch the ground From the smallest flower To the tallest tree Everything alive Is part of you and me Chauntea Where the green things grow We give to the earth And the earth gives us home [Outro] Put your hands into the earth Feel the heartbeat underneath Plant tomorrow in the ground And watch it breathe Chauntea Let it grow.
