Got a cd by Corrinne May titled Beautiful Seed. It sold 6000+ cd's in Singapore over the past launch week. Pretty hot for a local singer IMHO. But after listening to it for a round, yup, she's worth it. (even on my messy table)

Love the title track, Beautiful Seed
you can fill the darkness with just one flash of light
break the silence with just one word
one defiance starts a revolution
one 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
chorus:
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
for 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 pastors daughter
she's only sixteen
but her heart and her 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 singing
about a child in a manger
fragile and small
"unto us is born a savior"
she looks at her baby and cries
and she sings him a lullaby
Every hope
every power
lies in the heart of a seed that flowers
intertwined all across the land
we're all seeds in the makers hand
