letra de wait and see - jonah folsom

i tilled the old ground
sowed the pristine dream-seed
covered, watered, and left it for the sun

now i’ve waited so long
and still whatever’s down there’s sleeping tight
but i know that it’s alive

cling to the window
a desperate longing for a
glimpse of color peeking through the soil
but still nothing!
with every tick of time
thе weight of waiting buries me
maybе i’m not unlike that seed
it’s a humbling thing to be up all night
thinking, “what if it doesn’t show?”
it’s a humbling thing to be all alone
in the bleak midwinter snow
thinking, “what if i’ve sown a no-show?
what if i worked real hard but it still doesn’t grow?”
but i trust that dream
was a humble seed of a new thing
for now, i’ll wait and see

i sow and water and tend the soil
why can’t growing be mine to control?
is this weary hand worth this toil
or should i fold?

it’s a humbling thing to be up all night
thinking, “what if it doesn’t show?”
it’s a humbling thing to be all alone
in the bleak midwinter snow
thinking, “what if i’ve sown a no-show?
what if i worked real hard but it still doesn’t grow?”
but maybe it’s meant to be slow
maybe before it can heal it has to be broken
maybe this thing is a ghost
waking up when i lose the thing i love most
still i trust that dream
was a humble seed of a new thing
i will trust that dream
was a humble seed of a new thing
for now, i’ll wait and see
