Let's raise up our children in the way that they should go

Inspired by God

TALKING (DEREK AND DJ)


VERSE 1

I’VE BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN YOU PRAISE A FLOWER
THAT IT’LL GROW WELL ‘CAUSE IN YOUR WORDS THERE’S POWER
BUT THERE ARE MANY FACTORS WE MUST INCLUDE AS FOOD
AND PROPER NUTRITION AND RIGHT PLACE TO SET THE MOOD
IF CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE THEN WHY ARE WE FAILING THEM
BY RECOGNIZING WHAT THEY NEED BUT NOT TELLING THEM
YOU MIGHT SAY THEY’RE STILL YOUNG, IT WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE
BUT TEACH THEM ABOUT GOD WHETHER THEY’RE GROWN OR INFANTS
FOR WHAT YOU POSESS IS A FLOWER CHILD THAT’S RARE
IF YOU LET IT GO, THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT’S CAUGHT IN A SNARE
LIKE ANY FLOWER, ITS SIMPLEST FORM IS THE SEED
YOU CAN’T TAKE FOR GRANTITE THE FACT IT WILL SUCCEED
BOTH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY THERE ARE STRESSORS
THE SEED’S PLANTED IN THE WOMB, BUT THERE STILL ARE PRESSURES
THE MOST DELICATE STATE IN THE LIFE OF A FLOWER
FOR THE ENEMY’S BIRDS SEARCHES THE SOIL TO DEVOUR

CHORUS (SINGING)

IN THE BEGINNING GOD MADE A GARDEN
AND IN THE GARDEN HE GAVE US DOMINION
SO WHO ARE WE TO JUST IGNORE HIS CHILDREN
WATER THEM, NURTURE THEM, AND HELP THEM GROW
AND IN THE GARDEN THERE’S SO MUCH VARIETY
ALL SHAPES AND SIZES, COLORS SO UNIQUELY
FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY HE HAS MADE
SOME FOR SUNLIGHT AND OTHERS FOR SHADE

VERSE 2

THE ENEMYS JOB IS TO MAKE THE FLOWER WITHER
SO IT’LL DIE AND NOT PRODUCE FRUIT AND LOSE ITS VIGOR
TO MAKE SURE IT’S PREPARED THE GARDENER’S DUTY IS
TO NURTURE AND PROTECT IT AND GIVE IT NUTRIENTS
BUT BE SURE NOT TO PLANT IT IN SOIL THAT HAS WEEDS
FOR THEY’LL TRY TO DESTROY THE PURPOSE OF ALL YOUR SEEDS
BUT THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS RIGHT THERE TO FERTILIZE
AND FILTER OUT THE WEEDS SO YOU CAN DESERT THEIR LIES
THE GARDENER’S NOT ALWAYS THERE WHEN WEEDS TRY TO DENOUNCE
SO THE FLOWER MUST LEARN TO DWELL IN ITS SPIRITUAL GREENHOUSE
WE ALL KNOW EVERY FLOWER NEEDS WATER TO LIVE
OR IT WILL DRY OUT, BUT THE FATHER HAS WATER TO GIVE
HIS FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATER HELPS THEIR ROOTS GROW
IT NEVER ENDS BUT INSTEAD IS A CONSTANT LOOSE FLOW
CONTINUOUS WITH NO STRINGS ATTATCHED, THANKS WE GIVE HIM
FOR WATERING OUR FLOWERS WITH SPIRITUAL BAPTISM

CHORUS


VERSE 3

AS THE FLOWER CONTINUES TO GROW
IT MATURES AS ITS FRUIT THEN BEGINS TO SHOW
FOR THIS FRUIT WASN’T MEANT TO BE KEPT FOR ITSELF
BUT WAS MEANT TO BE SHARED FOR SPIRITUAL WEALTH
BUT WATCH OUT CAUSE INSECTS ARE OUT TO STEAL ITS NECTAR
BUT TO RECTIFY THEY NEED INSECTICIDE AS A PROTECTOR
SO WHEN THE FUTURE DAY COMES THEY CAN NURTURE THEIR OWN
AND CULTIVATE OTHER FLOWERS UNTIL THEIR SEEDS ARE GROWN
BUT IT’S OBVIOUS THERE’S ONE THING THAT’S NEEDED
WITHOUT THE SUN’S INVOLVEMENT ALL OF OUR WORK IS DEFEATED
FOR THE SUN BRINGS LIGHT THAT IS SO ESSENTIAL
WITH THE SUN, THE FLOWER GROWS TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL
FOR THE FLOWER USES THE SUN TO PHOTOSYNTHESIZE
AND TRANSFERS ITS RAYS TO A FORM THAT’S RECOGNIZED
WITH ENOUGH SUN IN ITS LIFE, ITS STEM WILL NEVER BEND
FOR I DON’T MEAN THE SUN IN THE SKY, BUT THE S-O-N

CHORUS

OUTRO (SINGING)

EVERY SEED HAS A SEED AFTER ITS OWN KIND
YOU AND I FOR SURE WILL LEAVE A SEED BEHIND
GOTTA EDIFY THE BODY, SOUL, AND MIND
HOW DO WE DO IT, WE GOTTA TAKE SOME TIME
WITH GOD’S CHILDREN….TAKE SOME TIME WITH THE CHILDREN
