[Verse 1]
You got clay on your cheek
Like a secret on my skin
I met you in the ditch
Where the roots were listening
You turn my hard days soft
You turn my bones to seed
When I fall into your dark
You still know how to feed me
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull me under, pull me close
Through the crack and the stone
Every river in my chest
Finds a place to go
[Chorus]
You keep me growing
You keep me growing
Mud in my hands, and I’m home again
You keep me growing
You keep me growing
Take my hurt and turn it into rain
[Verse 2]
I love the scar on your hill
I love the dust on your name
You wear the fire and flood
Like a crown made of change
When the season cuts deep
You don’t leave, you just bend
You got a pulse in the dark
That brings me back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull me under, pull me close
Through the crack and the stone
Every river in my chest
Finds a place to go
[Chorus]
You keep me growing
You keep me growing
Mud in my hands, and I’m home again
You keep me growing
You keep me growing
Take my hurt and turn it into rain
[Bridge]
[Half-time drop]
If I’m lost, you’ll find me
In the hush beneath the wheat
In the ash, in the after
In the weight beneath my feet
I was made from your breaking
You were made to remain
Even when I’m gone
You’ll be calling my name
[Final Chorus]
You keep me growing
You keep me growing
Mud in my hands, and I’m home again
You keep me growing
You keep me growing
Take my hurt and turn it into rain
You keep me growing
You keep me growing
And I bloom where you laid me down
