[Intro — Harp • Rhodes • Acoustic Guitar • Floating Strings] [Angelic Harmonies] Ooooh... Plant something... Let it grow... [Lead — softly] Not everything that gets broken has to stay broken... Sometimes... The place where something ended is exactly where something new can begin. [Verse 1] I've walked through gardens I didn't plant And rested underneath their trees Ate from tables somebody built Long before they ever knew me Somebody dreamed beyond their lifetime Somebody gave what they couldn't see And now I'm standing in the shade of somebody else's generosity So I started asking... When my season passes through What will still be growing because I was here too? [Pre-Chorus] I can't control how long the rain stays Can't tell the winter when to leave But I can choose what I put in the ground... And give tomorrow something to receive [Chorus] Plant something beautiful Where something used to hurt Put a little love Back into the earth Plant some patience Plant some truth Plant the kind of hope That keeps reaching for the sun when the light can't get through I may never sit beneath every tree But somebody might find shade from something planted by me So everywhere this life allows my hands to go... I wanna plant something beautiful And let it grow [Harmonies] Let it grow... Let it grow... [Verse 2] Plant encouragement inside somebody Who's forgotten what they're worth Plant forgiveness where resentment kept poisoning the dirt Plant a dream inside a child And never tell 'em it's too high Plant compassion in the places where nobody asks why Plant your music Plant your wisdom Plant your laughter Plant your time Plant something that keeps giving long after you leave it behind 'Cause everything we put into this world... Eventually becomes somebody's environment So I'm getting careful with my seeds [Pre-Chorus] Every word can become a garden Every action leaves a trace So wherever life allows me to stand... Let something better grow in that place [Chorus] Plant something beautiful Where something used to hurt Put a little love Back into the earth Plant some patience Plant some truth Plant the kind of hope That keeps reaching for the sun when the light can't get through I may never sit beneath every tree But somebody might find shade from something planted by me So everywhere this life allows my hands to go... I wanna plant something beautiful And let it grow [Bridge — Piano • Harp • Solo Cello] [Lead] Maybe I won't live to see every flower Maybe some seeds need more time than mine Maybe somebody I'll never meet Will find what I planted right when they need a sign And that's alright... Everything beautiful doesn't need my name on it I don't need credit for the shade Just knowing somebody rested there... That's enough for me [Instrumental Bloom — Strings Rising] [Breakdown — Hypnotic Bass • Percussion] [Lead / Angelic Harmonies] Where there's anger— (Plant understanding) Where there's loneliness— (Plant connection) Where there's fear— (Plant courage) Where there's division— (Plant affection) Where there's darkness— [Harmonies] PLANT SOME LIGHT [Lead] And where Love already lives... Help it grow [Final Chorus — Full Cinematic Orchestra] PLANT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL Let the whole garden rise Turn yesterday's rain into tomorrow's life Plant your kindness Plant your truth Plant a little piece of everything you hope this world becomes in you And if someday somebody finds peace Underneath a tree they never knew came from me... Then every storm every season every seed was worth the road I planted something beautiful... And Love kept making it grow [Angelic Harmonies] Grow... Grow in Love... Beautiful... Let it grow... [Outro — Harp • Rhodes • Flugelhorn] [Lead — softly] I may not get to see the whole garden... That's okay. I'm not planting it just for me. [Pause] One seed at a time. [Harmonies] Becoming... Becoming... Let it grow...
