歌詞

The lid comes off, the seeds come out

And something clean begins

I cut the little cap away

And scoop the tangled gold

The seeds and strings go in a bowl

The hollow starts to hold

It's messy work, but honest work

And lovely underneath

Hollow out the old and tangled

Make a room inside

Create in me a clean heart, Lord

And let the good abide

The little lamb has found one seed

That tumbled to the floor

It carries it across the room

And guards it by the door

I rinse the seeds to roast them later

Nothing goes to waste

Hollow out the old and tangled

Make a room inside

Create in me a clean heart, Lord

And let the good abide

A clean heart, Lord, the psalmist prayed

And I pray with my spoon

For every hollow, emptied out

Can hold a golden moon

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Hollow out the old and tangled

Make a room inside

Create in me a clean heart, Lord

And let the good abide

Hollow out the old and tangled

Make a room inside

Create in me a clean heart, Lord

And let the good abide

The lid is off, the bowl is full

And the hollow's ready now
