Plant Your Fields
Sowing Faith in the Midday Sun
Lyrics
We set sail to this thing called trust
We embarked on a journey based on trust.
The plans of the righteous are just
Plans made with righteousness are just and fair.
But I'm still recovering
The speaker is still recovering, possibly from challenges or setbacks.
I'm contemplating other things
Contemplating alternative thoughts or options.
But I've set my sights on you
The speaker has focused their attention on a particular person or goal.
All that I need is the smallest seed
A small seed of faith is sufficient to initiate significant change.
To plant the faith to move a city
Planting faith has the potential to move a whole city metaphorically.
And all that I see is distress and apathy
The speaker observes distress and apathy around them.
But I won't lose faith and be like the pharisees
Despite challenges, the speaker won't lose faith and become hypocritical like the Pharisees.
I'll depart with nothing I've held in my two hands
The speaker is willing to leave everything held in their hands.
You wealthy rulers: no you won't understand
Addressing wealthy rulers who may not understand the speaker's perspective.
Better is tranquility in one
Emphasizing the value of tranquility over enduring evil.
Than the grievous evil under the midday sun
Choosing peace over the grievous evil under the midday sun.
We'll look at what we've done
Reflecting on past actions and accomplishments.
What will we have to run from
Questioning what there is to escape or run from.
All that I need is the smallest seed
A repetition of the idea that a small seed of faith is powerful.
To plant the faith to move a city
Reiterating the transformative potential of planting faith.
And all that I see is distress and apathy
Reaffirming the observation of distress and apathy.
But I won't lose faith and be like the pharisees
Commitment to maintaining faith and avoiding hypocrisy like the Pharisees.
May my time here be pleasing to you
Expressing a desire for the speaker's time to be pleasing to someone.
May my words, dear, move closer to truth
Hoping that the speaker's words align more closely with the truth.
Can my thoughts be oh, so pure
Asking if the speaker's thoughts can be pure and genuine.
Hold me now I want nothing more
A plea to be held, expressing contentment with the present moment.
