 Intro: CaddG F C Am7 G F C G C F C
 
     C               G          
 Sometimes I stop on my way home
     F                  C   
 And watch the children play
       F              C     
 And I wonder if they wonder
 Am                   G7 
 What they'll be some day
 C                 G7       
 Some will dream a big dream
     F                C   
 And make it all come true
       F            C       
 While others go on dreaming
    Am                   G  
 Of things they'll never do.
 
 Chorus:
 
                F     G        C     F C 
 We're all just seeds in God's hands.
              G  C G             Am  
 We start the same  but where we land
 Am7          F       G                  Am   
 Is sometimes fertile soil and sometimes sand.
 Am7            F     G        C     
 We're all just seeds in God's hands.
 
 Interlude: CaddG F C Am7 G F C G C F C
 
   C                  G        
 I saw a a friend the other day
 F              C     
  I hardly recognized.
      F             C     
 He'd done a lot of living
           Am                 G    
 Since I'd last looked in his eyes.
    C                G7             
 He told his tale of how he'd failed
     F                 C      
 The lessons he'd been taught.
        F            C    
 But he offered no excuses
        F                 G       
 And he left me with this thought.
 
 Repeat Chorus
 
            F             C                F   
 And as I'm standing at a crossroads once again
       Am                   G              F  
 I'm reminded we're all the same when be begin
                  G C G 
 And in the end...
 
 Repeat Chorus
 
                F     G        C     
 We're all just seeds in God's hands.
 
 Ending: CaddG F C Am7 G F C G C F C
