Unless a grain of wheat
Falls to the ground and dies
It remains a single grain
But if it dies, it bears much fruit
In "Amen," Steve Angrisano is referencing a powerful biblical metaphor that compares the cycle of life to the growth of a grain of wheat. The lyrics speak to the idea that unless the seed dies, it can never grow into something much greater. This message is often tied to the concept of sacrifice, with the idea that we too must be willing to let go of certain things in order to experience growth and transformation.
The metaphor also holds significance in the context of spiritual awakening and renewal. The idea of surrendering control and allowing oneself to be planted like a seed speaks to a deeper level of faith and trust in the universe. Essentially, the lyrics are encouraging listeners to be open to change and to embrace the idea of letting parts of themselves die so that they may experience greater spiritual and personal growth.

Amen, Amen I say to you
Truly, truly I tell you
Unless a grain of wheat
Except for a tiny seed
Falls to the ground and dies
That falls to the soil and decomposes
It remains a single grain
It stays as a single kernel
But if it dies, it bears much fruit
Yet if it dies, it brings forth abundant crop
