The centuries, kids, have cooled off in my shade and climbed my limbsI've been a home to bluebirds, I protect them from the windAnd if you want the world to see your heart, carve it into meBut in the hands of a carpenter, I am so much moreI frame the memories on your wall, I swing on your front porchThere's that table built with love, I bring together familiesSo don't tell me you're too small to do amazing thingsCause I was just a seedI sang the chords to Ring a Fire when Johnny strummed my stringsAnd Babe Ruth held me in his hands and he took those mighty swingsAnd how those Wright brothers got me in the air is anybody's guessI sail columbinesover Columbus, over wild, uncharted seasAnd who'd have thought they'd nickname Andrew Jackson after meAnd on wagon wheels, I carried pioneers across the WestSo don't tell me you're too small to do amazing thingsCause I was just a seedJust a seedI'm proud to hold you as you rock your little ones to sleepAnd to be that cross around your neck to show what you believeThey draped a flag upon me when the soldiers laid to restSo you could cut me down and take my lifeCause when I'm at my bestSo don't tell me you're too small to do amazing thingsA little grain of faith is all you needAnd if I've helped you see all you can beThen I was just a seedI'm proud to hold you as you rock your little ones to sleepAnd to be that cross around your neck to see what you believeI'm just a seedI'm proud to hold you as you rock your little ones to sleep
