(Written by Kirk McLeod, arranged by Seven Nations)
Ooh how my mind moves to green when I close my eyes
Because green is the color of life, life I'm denied
Seeds of hope, seeds of faith
Will you grow, grow to escape
Prison walls and grow greener
Ooh how the time moves so slow while my garden grows
But hope's my companion, time without, well often I've known
Well I won't, and I will
And I won't, I won't stop until
You grow strong, and grow greener
And carry me far away
Carry me far away
Take me and then arrest me
Take me, don't leave me long
Don't
Seeds of hope, seeds of faith
Will you grow, grow to escape
Prison walls and grow greener
And carry me far away
Carry me far away
The song "Seeds of Life" is all about hope, faith, and the desire to escape from obstacles that hinder growth and progress. The lyrics create an image of a garden where the singer finds solace and a sense of renewal. The color green symbolizes life and the hope of new beginnings, while the garden itself represents a place where seeds of hope and faith can take root, grow and flourish despite the challenges they face. The lyrics reveal that the singer is imprisoned in some way, symbolically or otherwise, and desperately longs to be free. He urges the seeds of hope and faith to "grow to escape prison walls" and "carry me far away" to a better place.
The repeated refrain "seeds of hope, seeds of faith, will you grow, grow to escape" emphasizes the theme of perseverance and determination. The use of repetition emphasizes the urgency of escape, as if the singer is pleading with the seeds to take root and grow quickly. The bridge of the song changes tone slightly, as the singer seems to be addressing a person or force that holds him back. He says "take me and then arrest me, take me don't leave me long", this can be interpreted as a metaphor for his inner demons that hold him back from growth and progress.
Overall, "Seeds of Life" is a powerful reflection on the human desire for hope, faith, and renewal. It speaks to the universal feeling of being stuck in a rut and desiring escape, and how hope and faith can be the guiding light towards a better future.
