[Verse 1]
(Heather)
The seed the seed
Does it ever know
The shape into which
Its genes will grow

(Andrew)
The seed the seed
Is it ever sad
To lose its damp
And earthn bed

(Heather)
The seed the seed
Does it ever grieve
The daily change
Of Boundaries

(Together)
Its seed coat burst
Its rootlets swell
No longer sheltered
Tight, within, itself


[Verse 2]
The tree the tree
Does it remember long
How from the seed
It was sprung

The tree the tree
Does it feel the pain
Of never being
A seed again

The seed the seed
Could it imagine
What could be gained
By losing its seedy reign


[Verse 3]
The tree the tree
If it ever knew
Would thank the seed
From which it grew

The seed
The seed
The tree
The tree
