The sentry's 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 porchAnd there's that table built with love, I bring together familiesSo don't tell me you're too small to do amazing thingsBut I'm a home to bluebirds, I protect them from the windCause I was just a seedWell I sang the chords to Ring of Fire, when Johnny strummed my stringsBabe 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 sailed Columbus, over WashingtonOut 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 seedWell I'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 drape a flag upon me when a soldier's laid to restSo you can cut me down, take my life, this way I'm at my bestguitar soloSo 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 beThat I was just a seedI'm just a seedI'm just a seed
