corrinne may- beautiful seed

ever since i heard from a friend that corrinne may's new ablum is out on sales. i had been wanting to get my hands on it. oh well... if u had knew me well enough, u will know that i do enjoy corrinne may's 1st two ablums. =)

i like corrinne may's deep yet clear voice. her music is very clean and smoothing too. its like crystal yet with more substances. my vocab just isn't good and rich enough to describe all that i wish to. but well... u better go and get an ablum and listen it for yourself. =)

this 3rd ablum seems a little different from the 1st two. hmmm... can't point out what the differences are but it gives me a entire different feeling from the 1st two. can't decide if its a better or worse feeling, just different blah.

oh did i mention the lyrics? its all written by corrinne may herself! wow!! i hope i read the ablum right and did not deprive anyone of their rightful honor. =P the lyrics are simple yet beautiful. every song carries with it a story to be told. i like! =)

Beautiful Seed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(2006, Corrmay Gourmet Music-ASCAP)

You can fill the darkness wih just 1 flash of light
Break the silence with just 1 word
1 defiance starts a revolution
1 life can save the world

On the steps of Washington
Sprinkled like confetti
Thousands of people sing "We shall overcome"
The preacher shouts "Let freedom ring"
He gave his life for what he believed

You can be a witness
You can be a prophet
You can make the whole world believe
Break the strongest fortress
Change the way the world thinks
You can build a bridge where foes can meet
Hope for the future
Shout it, don't whisper
Dreams are what we make them to be
There is hope in every heartbeat
Tiny as it seems
You're a beautiful seed

She's a pastor daughter
She is only 16
But her heart and belly are breaking at the seams
Her boyfriend blames her, he wants to pay
for the doctor to wash it away

As she lays in the hospital
A Christmas choir is singing
About a child in a manger, fragile and small
"Unto us is born a Savior"
She looks at her baby and cries as she sings him a lullaby

You can be a witness
You can be a prophet
You can make the whole world believe
Break the strongest fortress
Change the way the world thinks
You can build a bridge where foes can meet
Hope for the future in the tiniest whisper
Dreams are what we make them to be
There is hope in every heartbeat
Tiny as it seems
You're a beautiful seed

Every hope, every power lies in the heart of a seed that flowers
Interwined all across the land
We're all seeds in the maker's hand

what do you see from the lyrics of this song "beautiful seed"? i felt my heart thugged a little at the part of the unwed mother; daughter of a pastor! aiyo... shouldn't she know better than to...?!?! perhaps that's why she cried carrying her baby?!?! feeling of thankgiving or guilt or hope or faith or forgiveness? hmm... i don't really know.

but i guess the main message in this song is to say that every person is a beautiful seed that the maker had planted for something great. may it be a preacher, a normal tom/dick/jane or even an unwed mother and her out of the wed-lock child.

maybe i will blog abt my views on unwed-motherhood, fatherless children and pre-marriage pregnancy.
