Seed In The Ground
Connie Kaldor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you plant a little seed in the old back lane
And you wish and you pray and you keep the weeds down
You might find, ooh, you might find
A root growing out from the seed in the ground
A shoot growing out from the root
A stem growing out from the shoot
from the root from the seed in the ground
A flower growing out from the stem
from the shoot from the root from the seed in the ground
A seed growing out from the flower from the stem
from the shoot from the root from the seed in the ground
Connie Kaldor's song Seed In The Ground is a beautifully simple and poetic tribute to the power of nature and the growth of plants. The song describes the process of planting a seed, nurturing it with sun, rain, and care, and watching it grow into a beautiful flower that eventually produces new seeds. The lyrics provide a step-by-step description of each stage of growth, from the seed sprouting a root, to a shoot, then a stem, then a flower, and finally a new seed.
This song can be interpreted as a metaphor for life and the importance of nurturing our dreams and ambitions. It reminds us that with patience, hard work, and faith, we can turn a small idea or dream into something beautiful that has the potential to produce more growth and beauty in the future. It also emphasizes the power of nature and the importance of protecting the environment, as without sun, rain, and care, the seed would not be able to grow.

If you’ve got the sun and if you’ve got the rain
If you have both the sunlight and rain needed for growth
And you plant a little seed in the old back lane
And you sow a small seed into the soil of an abandoned path
And you wish and you pray and you keep the weeds down
And you hope and you pray and you prevent unwanted plants from encroaching on it
You might find, ooh, you might find
You may discover, oh, you may discover
A root growing out from the seed in the ground
A small, unseen part of the plant beginning to develop
A shoot growing out from the root
from the seed in the ground
A sprout emerging from the root, originating from the seed sown in the soil
A stem growing out from the shoot
from the root from the seed in the ground
A slender stalk starting to form from the emerging shoot, which extends from the roots and the original seed
A flower growing out from the stem
from the shoot from the root from the seed in the ground
A colorful and delicate bloom unfurling from the developing stem, with its foundations in the now well-established shoot, root, and seed
A seed growing out from the flower from the stem
from the shoot from the root from the seed in the ground
Another seed, the result of the developing flower’s reproduction, growing once again from the plant’s intricate system, the product of the original seed’s careful planting
