Seeds Of Life
Seven Nations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(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 lyrics to "Seeds of Life" by Seven Nations explore the power of hope and faith in overcoming difficulties and escaping confinement.

The singer calls upon seeds of hope and faith to grow and help them escape their prison walls. They speak of the slow passage of time as they wait for their garden to grow, but they hold onto hope as their constant companion.
The repeated lines of "I won't, and I will, and I won't, I won't stop until" emphasize the singer's determination to see the seeds of life grow stronger and carry them far away. The final plea to "take me and then arrest me, take me, don't leave me long" suggests that the singer is willing to risk capture or punishment in their quest for freedom and growth.

Ooh how my mind moves to green when I close my eyes
Whenever I shut my eyes, I imagine the color green, as it represents life that I am deprived of.
Because green is the color of life, life I'm denied
Green is an indication of living and thriving, and since I cannot live that way, I feel turned off from life itself.
Seeds of hope, seeds of faith
The possibility of better times and stronger beliefs
Will you grow, grow to escape
Can you prosper and help me escape from the situations that hold me back?
Prison walls and grow greener
Succeeding and flourishing, despite the barriers around me.
And carry me far away
Take me away to a better place through the power of hope and growth.

Despite the slow pace of progress, my hope keeps me patient as my hope and faith flourish.
But hope's my companion, time without, well often I've known
Though progress may appear slow at times, I cannot function without hope being my primary ally, as I know it would be too distressing.
Well I won't, and I will
I will carry on progressing and will not let up easily.
And I won't, I won't stop until
Until I break through and bring about a favorable result.
You grow strong, and grow greener
As I progress, I expect to attain more strength and prosperity, symbolized by the growth of greenness.
And carry me far away
Finally achieving a life of growth will be enough to take me to a much better state of existence.
Take me and then arrest me
I wish for something to take me unceremoniously.
Take me, don't leave me long
Please do not allow me to linger too long without hope or growth.
