D#m F#m D#m
[Verse]
F# B
Somewhere down South of here
D#m F# B
There's a woman with an armload of grass
C# D#m
Weaving a basket
C# F# G#m B
That'll float the Rio Grande
F# B
She'll send her baby on it
F# B G#m
The river running wild and fast
C# F#
To curry the favor
C# B G#m
Of whatever pharaoh owns the land
Gsus4
[Chorus]
G#4
A seed of an idea
G#sus G#4
Like mustard greens
C# G#m
Like newborn fingers
G# C#
Curled and half asleep
F#
Awake
F#
D#m
[Verse 2]
F#
From her mouth, a vineyard
D#m F# B
Of swears and hallelujahs entwined
C# D#m G#m
A new wine is vinted
D# D#m G# B
A blend of sweet commandment
B F#
Oh, to hell with the semantics
D#m G#m
The camel and the cable confide
C#m B
The eye of a needle
F# B G#m
Is tall enough to stand inside
G#m
[Chorus]
G#4
A seed of an idea
G#sus G#4
Like mustard greens
C# G#m
Like newborn fingers
G# C#
Curled and half asleep
F# D#m B
Awake with a thunder from underneath
F#
Stretch up and reach through
D#m
The hardest part of me
B F#
D#m
May all our tinfoil idols
F# C#
Lay crumpled on the ground
B F#
And our prefab Olympus
D#m B F#
Divided by the thousand
F# B
Oh, maybe I'm naive for thinking
D#m C# F#
That a mountain so stubborn can move
C# G#m
But if I'm a mountain moving
F# B F#
I think maybe you can be, too
