Liner Notes

This song is about a local coffee roaster in Australia, but I'm sure all coffee lovers can probably relate.

Lyrics

G Em
A Coffee’s just a coffee,
C G
You make it from a bean,
C D
But a coffee made with kindness,
D G
Is a thing more seldom seen,
G Em
And a coffee that helps others,
C D
Is a rarer thing than gold,
C G
A prayer to build a better world,
G D G
In every cup that’s sold.

D G
With justice in your actions,
D G
And mercy in your love,
C G
Walk humble upon the earth,
D G
As required from above.

If you think about a single bean,
And where it has come from,
And every hand that touched it,
Upon its journey long,
The soil and the water,
That fed each growing tree,
Must all share in the bounty,
That comes from you and me,

When you sell a bag of beans,
And profit comes to you,
There is a choice to hoard the wealth
If that’s what you want to do,
But also you could pass some on,
To those in greater need,
And all the world will flourish,
With the planting of that seed,
