Someone sent my momma flowers on the day that I was born
Daddy put'em on a table 'neath the window
They were dead and spread before I even knew I was alive
But I think about those flowers now that I am grown
There were lilies on the altar when I knelt down for my first communion
'Here, little kid, this is the body and blood of the Christ'
Cnd the wildflowers whipped past on the forty out to California
I was twenty-one years old making up my own mind
It's a seed in the ground
Somehow it finds its way out
The more it reaches for light the more its beauty grows
Then it's back to the ground it goes
I held a dozen when I asked Leslie to be my wife
They were drying on the wall when she gave the ring back
For a season I believed I would never feel the sunshine again
But there's a pretty girl beside me with a little in her laugh
It's a seed in the ground
Somehow it finds its way out
The more it reaches for light the more its beauty grows
Then it's back to the ground it goes
I spread my petals out in the air light of possibility
I shoot my roots down just as deep as the earth will let me
I think the point is to grow tall but always stay green
Cnd to bow when the colors of fall come
Couple hundred flowers on the day of my funeral
Friends spread my ashes out and they cry
For awhile I float up high in the clouds beneath the sunshine
Then I settle in a garden out in the countryside
It's a seed in the ground
Somehow it finds its way out
The more it reaches for light the more its beauty grows
Then it's back to the ground it goes
