Kristene DiMarco's song encourages listeners to live purposefully and invest in things that outlast them, even if they never see the results. Drawing on the biblical idea that there is a season for everything, the lyrics urge planting seeds—metaphorically representing acts of faith, love, and service—for the benefit of future generations. The song reflects on the brevity of life and the eternal value of laying down temporary things to gain what heaven holds. It's a gentle call to faithful stewardship and selfless living, rooted in trust that God's purposes extend beyond our own understanding.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Don't leave potential unfulfilled
Don't be afraid of letting go
Get it all out, have it said and done
Before the sun gets low
Plant your trees today
Grow your flowers like you'll stay
'Cause the ones before you did the same and knew
To everything there is a season
And our days on earth are few
So plant the seeds in your pockets
Even if they're not for you
Some gardens we make, we make for others
Some victories aren't just for us
There's so much we won't ever know
And fields that we may not see grow
But plant your trees anyway
Grow your flowers like you'll stay
'Cause the ones before you did the same and knew
To everything there is a season
And our days on earth are few
So plant the seeds in your pockets
Even if they're not for you
Someday it's gonna be time to go
Move on from what we know
And many will reap from the ground
Where we only sowed
But you won't regret losing all that you cannot keep
To gain what heaven holds
Someday it's gonna be time to go
Move on from what we know
And many will reap from the ground
Where we only sowed
But you won't regret losing all that you cannot keep
To gain what heaven holds
To gain what heaven holds
So plant your trees today
Grow your flowers like you'll stay
'Cause the ones before you did the same and knew
To everything there is a season
And our days on earth are few
So plant the seeds in your pockets
Even if it's not for you
Even if it's not for you
Even if it's not
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
Even if it's not for you
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
