Parent plant standing tall

Shading everything below

Tiny seeds down at its feet

Nowhere good to grow

They all want light on their leaves

They all want room for their roots

Water

Salts from the soil

But they’re crowded under one roof

[Chorus]

Run

Little seed

Disperse

Disperse

Fly from the parent

Spread through the earth

Looking for light and your own small space

Water and minerals

Your own place

[Verse 2]

Some hitch rides on furry coats

Stuck to a tail or paw

Carried far by hungry mouths

Spat out where grasses draw

Some seeds float on gentle waves

Rivers rock them side to side

Washed ashore on sandy banks

New plants rise with the tide

[Chorus]

Run

Little seed

Disperse

Disperse

Fly from the parent

Spread through the earth

Looking for light and your own small space

Water and minerals

Your own place

[Bridge]

Some spin

Some glide on air (woah)

Paper wings that swirl and swerve

Some go pop with a sudden snap

Splitting shells with a jumping nerve

[Chorus]

Run

Little seed

Disperse

Disperse

Fly from the parent

Spread through the earth

Far from the shade where you began

Grow your own roots

Your own green plan
