Own the seed

Intro (0:00–0:25 | Orchestral, low strings + choir)

(spoken, restrained)

You don’t just plant it in yourself.

You plant it in everyone around you.

⸻

Verse 1 (0:25–0:55)

Boots on the pavement, keys in my hand

Another long day, another stand

Words on my tongue weigh more than stone

Every seed I drop gets carried home

My kids hear silence louder than sound

My wife feels truth when my guard breaks down

I don’t need a throne or a preacher’s seat

My life is the soil beneath my feet

⸻

Pre-Chorus (0:55–1:10)

Every habit, every choice I make

Every fire I feed or faith I break

I’m planting roots I may not see

But the harvest is coming back to me

⸻

Chorus (1:10–1:40 | FULL WALL)

I OWN THE SEED

I OWN THE GROUND

WHAT I PLANT IS GROWING ALL AROUND

IN MY HOUSE, IN MY NAME

IN THE LIGHT AND IN THE FLAME

I OWN THE SEED

I BEAR THE WEIGHT

WHAT I SOW DECIDES THE SHAPE

LORD, LEAD MY HAND — HELP ME SEE

BUT I STILL OWN THE SEED

⸻

Verse 2 (1:40–2:05 | Grittier, tighter)

Pressure talks when the money’s thin

Anger knocks, says “let me in”

Kids mess up, eyes on me

Waiting to see who I’m gonna be

The men around me learn my ways

From how I fight to how I pray

I don’t need words to make it clear

They read my faith when I’m under fear

⸻

Pre-Chorus (2:05–2:20)

I don’t get to choose if I plant or not

Every step I take marks the spot

If You own my heart, then break my pride

Let Your word be the seed inside

⸻

Chorus (2:20–2:45 | Repeat, bigger harmonies)

I OWN THE SEED

I OWN THE GROUND

WHAT I PLANT IS GROWING ALL AROUND

IN MY HOUSE, IN MY NAME

IN THE LIGHT AND IN THE FLAME

I OWN THE SEED

I BEAR THE WEIGHT

WHAT I SOW DECIDES THE SHAPE

LORD, LEAD MY HAND — HELP ME SEE

BUT I STILL OWN THE SEED

⸻

Bridge (2:45–3:10 | Half-time breakdown)

(spoken-growl)

A man reaps what he sows.

(sung)

Write it on my heart

Speak it in my home

When I walk this road

I don’t walk alone

If I fall, let them see me rise

If I fail, let them see You fight

Make my life the proof they need

That You’re the Lord of every seed

⸻

Final Chorus (3:10–3:40 | Drop → EXPLODE)

I OWN THE SEED

BUT YOU OWN THE RAIN

YOU TURN THE DIRT INTO PURPOSE AND PAIN

I’LL PLANT YOUR TRUTH

I’LL STAND AND BLEED

AND TRUST YOU WITH WHAT GROWS FROM ME

I OWN THE SEED

I’LL PLANT IT RIGHT

FAITH IN THE DARK, HOPE IN THE FIGHT

TILL MY CHILDREN STAND WHERE I’VE BEEN

I OWN THE SEED — YOU WRITE THE END

⸻

Outro (3:40–3:55 | Orchestral decay)

(soft)

You don’t get to choose whether you’re planting…

Only what kind of seed it is.
