lyrics

Famine in the land
Children without a hand to hold
Just like the farmer who doesn't understand
still knows that change can be grown,

PRE-CHORUS
I will pray for the changes
that need to start
within me
So I ask You God,
"What needs to die
in me?"
Pray for the changes
that need to start
within me
So I ask you God,
"What needs to die
in me?"

CHORUS (2x)
As I spread Your seed
I am Your seed
Breathe life into me, God

I didn't have to ask You
to be my daily bread
Faith like a mustard seed
that's all I need
That's what You said

So maybe that miracle
I've been praying for
is already in my hands
Bless me to see
Bless me to be
a blessing

PRE-CHORUS

Anais Alonso and Etro Anime joined to do a beautiful thing here. I really dig how Anais' voice is ambient and, at the same time, palpable. Tracks "Yours Forever" and "Another Life" will do you right. Eric Ian Farmer
