What We Welcome - Symphony Orchestra

Look at the river, see how it flows
A stone in the middle changes where it goes

A seed in the dirt, the wind let's it fall
Soon it becomes the height of the wall

A seed in the dirt, soon it becomes height of the wall
Nature is talking if you listen close
We are the harvest of what we love most

If you put a diamond in a wooden frame
That box forever carries a jewel name

But fill it with the peel and the waste and the silt
It's a bin for the garbage, a life poorly built

We are what we welcome, we are what we keep
Watch the ground when you walk and the seeds that you reap

Can a crystal clear pond stay pure in the heat
If trash enters daily and sinks at its feet?

The words are like rain, but some are like acid

Turning the spirit from brave into passive
Turning the spirit from brave into passive

Some people feed you till the garden is dry
While others lift roots to the blue of the sky

It's not by closing the gate for good
It's by caring for the bloom like a forest should

Don't be the clay for the hands to mold
Be the solid center, brave and bold

If you put a diamond in a wooden frame
That box forever carries a jewel name

But fill it with the peel and the waste and the silt
It's a bin for the garbage, a life poorly built

We are what we welcome, we are what we keep
Watch the ground when you walk and the seeds that you reap

Protect your space like the earth does its roots
You're the master of the harvest, the judge of the fruit

Be the lake, don't you dare turn to mud
Let the right kind of light fill your spirit's blood

If they want a seat at the table you set
Tell them they gotta earn the space to get

Yeah, they gotta earn the space to get
