Rise from the Earth

Rise from the earth oh fallen seed
Rise and bring life once more
Weave your roots through the rock and soil
Rise and bring life once more

Hard were the winds of winter’s night
Hard were its frozen days
Hard was the ice that made your bed
Dim were the sun’s gold rays

Don’t spare your heart
Hope will have its say
Don’t spare your heart
Only love can bring blooms from clay

The season has turned - an endless dance
The sun gives her warmth again
The passion of life in excess flows
The promise of love begins

So rise from the earth oh fallen seed
Rise and bring life once more
Weave your roots through the rock and soil
Rise and bring life once more
