Lucas Carpenter - "Tumbleweed"

Here's Lucas Carpenter playing an acoustic version of a new tune called "Tumbleweed" on Oct. 18th, 2009! LC posted this tune in honor of reaching over 500 Twitter followers, so thanks for digging the music...tell us what you think of the new jam! :D

LYRICS:

Dear God,
I saw you in a tumbleweed just the other day
But not in the kind of way
Like people see Jesus burnt onto a piece of toast and scream
It was more of a subtlety you see
Cause the tumbleweed knows to grow itself into a ball
Die, dry up, snap off, and roll across the ground
All to spread its seed
What a smart little tumbleweed
Thats one smart little tumbleweed
A little bit of evolution, a little bit of mystery
Cause how does it know what to do?

I think its you
I think its you
I think its you

Dear God,
Well who wouldve thought that driving across the Lone Star State
Would start to give me faith
In things that I never found sitting around bitching bout
the 10 things you hate about us
Cause somewhere your message got lost
In pocketbooks and political views
If Im pro-this, then Im anti-you
Well I found what I believe
I believe in that tumbleweed
That smart little tumbleweed
A little bit of evolution, a little bit of mystery
Cause somethings missing from the church pews

I think its you
I think its you
I think its you

So many miracles are hard to explain, we cant explain
Like fingerprints and Love
Stevie Wonder and lightening bugs
Fingerprints and Love
Stevie Wonder and lightening bugs
Where did they come from?

I think its you
I think its you
I think its you

can someone explain me what "tumbleweed" is? xD I tried to translate it from english to my language on google translate but it was the same in my language as in english.

[Lucascarpenter]

@TKJOfficial Its a type of plant, a bush that's found in the desert

[SmurphyGiggle115]
