How Can I Not See?

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - gentle acoustic guitar, soft piano, intimate female vocal]
How can You grow a garden
From seed and not see?
The quiet little promise
Hidden underneath
You place a grain in darkness
Then wait and trust the rain
And from that tiny breaking
A whole world starts again

[Pre-Chorus - rising dynamics, warm strings, layered harmonies]
So I’m looking closer now
At all Your hands have made
Every line and every color
Every breath that stays
If this much love is in a flower
What are we made to be?
I can only stand in wonder
When You open up my eyes

[Chorus - expansive, soaring melody, full band with driving drums]
How can I not see You?
How can I not see?
In every petal, every pattern
You are shining to me
How can I not see You?
How can I not see?
If You did this in a flower
What have You done in me? (what have You done in me)

[Verse 2 - tender but fuller, arpeggiated piano, subtle percussion]
A stem can hold a blossom
A branch can hold a sky
The veins inside a leaf
Speak life that we walk by
A seed keeps all its treasure
Till the moment it wakes
And what looks small and simple
Is holy in the way You make

[Pre-Chorus - building tension, higher harmonies, pulsing bass]
So I’m looking closer now
At all Your hands have made
Every line and every color
Every breath that stays
If this much love is in a flower
What are we made to be?
I can only stand in wonder
When You open up my eyes

[Chorus - bigger and brighter, anthem-style vocals, cymbal lift]
How can I not see You?
How can I not see?
In every petal, every pattern
You are shining to me
How can I not see You?
How can I not see?
If You did this in a flower
What have You done in me? (what have You done in me)

[Bridge - stripped back, piano and pads, vulnerable lead vocal]
Open my eyes wide
Let my heart stay still
Teach me to notice
What I used to miss
If a flower can speak
Of Your endless grace
Then my whole life can tell it
I was made to praise

[Final Chorus - massive lift, full instrumentation, soaring harmonies]
How can I not see You?
How can I not see?
In every petal, every pattern
You are shining to me
How can I not see You?
How can I not see?
If You did this in a flower
What have You done in me? (what have You done in me)
How can I not see You?
How can I not see? (how can I not see?)
