(Verse 1)
Sold the house in Arizona, watched the cactus fade in time,
Packed a cat and conversation, left that dry heat far behind.
The road hums like a record, scratchin’ stories in the night,
And the plant on the dash just keeps reachin’ for the light.
(Pre-Chorus)
We don’t know where we’re goin’,
But the engine keeps on showin’
That even when we’re broken,
We still grow, we still grow.
(Chorus)
The plant survived the miles and the rain,
Through the heat, through the thunder, through the pain.
While I kept drivin’ circles in my brain,
The plant survived… yeah, the plant survived.
It never asked for much, just a little bit of sun,
A drop of hope when the day was done.
We lost our place, but we kept our pride—
And the plant survived.
(Verse 2)
The cat’s asleep in the backseat, hummin’ soft like a storm,
My hands on the wheel, both scared and reborn.
The playlist skips to songs that we used to know,
Every lyric hits like a place we won’t go.
(Pre-Chorus)
I see the green leaves tremble,
Like it’s prayin’ in the window,
And I think maybe that’s how
Faith grows slow, faith grows slow.
(Chorus)
The plant survived the miles and the rain,
Through the heat, through the thunder, through the pain.
While I kept drivin’ circles in my brain,
The plant survived… yeah, the plant survived.
It never asked for much, just a little bit of sun,
A drop of hope when the day was done.
We lost our place, but we kept our pride—
And the plant survived.
(Bridge – Spoken/Rap)
We watered it with gas station cups,
Half full of hope, half runnin’ on luck.
You said, “Maybe it’s just photosynthesis,”
But I think it’s faith in disguise.
It never argued, never cried—
It just lived.
And I wish I could do the same sometimes.
(Final Chorus)
The plant survived the miles and the rain,
Through the loss, through the drive, through the strain.
It’s proof that small things can remain—
The plant survived… we’re still alive.
Yeah, we’re still alive.
(Outro – Soft, Echoed)
If a little green thing can make it through,
Then maybe, maybe we can too.
The plant survived…
And so did you.
