I was so excited to jam this song with Bee.
So grateful for their sounds and big heart!
And so excited they wanted to help record a new version!
let me be an overgrown yard
springing up with wildflowers
and weeds that won't be pulled
let this be my body
alive and at rest
let this be my purpose
and I will do my best
to flower and share
my beauty with the bees
when they come to me
they give me what I need
set my desires free
take what I give
and make it sweet
let me be a seed in the wind
or in the belly of a bird transplanted again
let this be my heart
to die and be reborn
let this be my art
and I will transform
Sprouting rooting down
where I am unexpected
lest that soil be washed away
I am here to stay
I am here to stay
I'll crack through this pavement
and overcome one day
Let me be a nest in a tree
a place to rest and love
for those that will fly free
let this be my mind
to bring peace in hard times
let this be my work
to love so much I protest
The cutting of the trees
the paving of the wild
those who try to silence children
singing from their bellies
dancing on their feet
let me love that they might grow
let me be a star in the night sky
shining just to guide those
that can dare to dream
let this be my spirit
to those that are afraid
let this be my path
to be a light along the way
for those resisting
and trusting their feet
to lead them through a battle
with forces they can't see
let them build together
a brighter world for us to call our home
let me be an overgrown yard
let me be an overgrown yard
let me be an overgrown yard
