The Gown of Green Lyrics

I am an anchor at the bottom of a lake
Longing for the ship
From which I break
I won't let nobody down, no,
I won't keep nobody grounded

You walked around and you planted seeds,
Your kingdom came up from up among the weeds
And the men all cried while staring at the trees
Saying, "what are we supposed to see?"
Supposed to see

Well, I say you'll see freedom.
I say you'll see freedom
Stop looking at the ground, start looking at the leaves
Up among the dirt and rust is where the kingdom breathes
You'll see freedom

When we finally left that town, they had put all our stones down
And you drew lines in the middle of the street (redefined the place we meet)
If they come to meet us there,
We'll turn all of their swords to plowshares
And sow the earth with diligence and love
(must've come from heaven above)

We will sow the earth
We will sow the earth
We will sow the earth
With diligence and love
We will sow the earth
We will sow the earth
We will sow the earth
With diligence and love
It won't matter anymore where you came from!

We will sow the earth
We will sow the earth
We will sow the earth
With diligence and love
