Em D
What you do not eat I will devour
Bm Em
Right down to the core
Em D
Until the seed falls out

Sinks into the ground
Em D
And the tree bursts forth
Bm Em
And the fruit falls down
[Verse 1]
Em D
In the soft moist loam
Bm Em
In the undergrowth
Em D
Where all creatures know
Bm Em
What that seed is worth
Em D
I will lay me down
Bm Em
And I will sink in too
Em D
Just like the seed
Bm Em
I will feed the new

Their secrets learned

From the sun

Their secrets learned

From the sun
