Intro: CaddG F C Am7 G F C G C F C
CG
Sometimes I stop on my way home
FC
And watch the children play
FC
And I wonder if they wonder
AmG7
What they'll be some day
CG7
Some will dream a big dream
FC
And make it all come true
FC
While others go on dreaming
AmG
Of things they'll never do.
Chorus:
FGCC
We're all just seeds in God's hands.
GCGAm
We start the same but where we land
Am7FGAm
Is sometimes fertile soil and sometimes sand.
Am7FGC
We're all just seeds in God's hands.
Interlude: CaddG F C Am7 G F C G C F C
CG
I saw a a friend the other day
FC
I hardly recognized.
FC
He'd done a lot of living
AmG
Since I'd last looked in his eyes.
CG7
He told his tale of how he'd failed
FC
The lessons he'd been taught.
FC
But he offered no excuses
FG
And he left me with this thought.
Repeat Chorus
FCF
And as I'm standing at a crossroads once again
AmGF
I'm reminded we're all the same when be begin
G
And in the end...
Repeat Chorus
FGC
We're all just seeds in God's hands.
