I believe when they put her in the ground   I think they buried part of me   Cause I've been searching   I've been looking all around   But I cannot find the heart of me   The heart of me      So I put my fingers in this soil upon her grave   And I will plant for her a garden   And every flower a reminder of her face   Will grow up graceful as a pardon      And all that grows is her story told   As life unfolds here before us   The peace I've found in this broken ground   I can see her in the harvest   Of all that I have sown      And long before I was covered up in grey   Before the old had bent my bones   We grow our children in the red Georgia clay   They were our garden and our home      And that grows is our story told   As life unfolds here before us   The peace we've found in that broken ground   I can see them in the harvest   Of all that I have sown      And when my life is done   I pray the kingdom come   Take me to glory   And it's living inside me   It was planted like a seed   All to tell a story      And I believe when they put me in the ground   There will remain a part of me   Cause I've been searching   And the joy that I have found   Is living in my family      It's all that I have sown   It's all that I have sown
