Well b[C]blue skies and hillsides
feel so far away
And I w[Am]wrote in my notebook
that I've seen better days
Than the o[F]ones as of late
I c[G]can't bear the weight
The ra[C]rain won't stop pouring
out my window pane
And I ha[Am]haven't left my bedroom in 76 days
I wish s[F]something would change
Cause I[G]I'm losing faith
Chorus:
So I br[C]brought it up in a desperate prayer
[Em] Lord, why are you keeping me here?
[F]Then He said to me,
[G]Child I'm planting seeds

and I have a good plan
So t[Em]trust that I'm holding a watering can
A[F]And someday you'll see
That flo[G]flowers grow in the [C]valley
Verse 2:
So whate[C]whatever the reason
I'm barely getting by

Cause I br[C]brought it up in a desperate prayer
[Em] Lord, why are you keeping me here?
[F]Then He said to me
[G]Child I'm planting seeds

So t[Em]trust that I'm holding a watering can
[F]And someday you'll see
That flo[G]flowers grow in the [C]valley

When I[C]I'm on the mountain
and looking down below
I'll see a va[Am]valley of flowers
that needed time to grow
And I'll th[F]thank you for the rain
The h[G]hurt and days of pain
Chorus:
And I'll bri[C]bring it up in a grateful prayer
T[Em]Thank you Jesus for keeping me there
You k[F]know just what I need

with a real good plan
And you h[Em]hold my world
And a watering can
[F]So I can have peace
Cause flo[G]flowers grow in the [C]valley
