“Mustard seed” is based on a story from the Bible: “[Jesus] replied, ‘Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.’ ”
[Verse 1]
Hill up the road
Gathering thoughts
Never adding the way I want them
Sweet Jesus
Show me through the Indian paintbrush
Faith was
[Chorus]
Cursed upon me
A mustard seed
Was good enough for him
And good enough to me
[Verse 2]
Or after all
Will I shake my magic 8 ball
It's bubbling
And the brisk walking heartbeat won't tire me
It keeps me strong
Faith was
[Chorus]
Cursed upon me
A mustard seed
Was good enough for him
And good enough to me
Pillar of salt, shaker of black
Killer of thought, turning my back
Believe you were wrong and said they would laugh and I'm trying to be humble about it
I like the rain, I like going against the grain
Seems to me I'm cutting out a simple pattern
She was weak
Hill up the road
Watching my thoughts chase each other
Sweet Jesus
Show me the faith cursed upon me
She walked away
