Flower

I was born just a flower painted
Petals free of weeds
Started out as just a seed
Both my parents set me free

Gave me two younger sisters
Older brother huge family
Started growing unwanted weeds
Mama showed me there were nothing ugly

You may think you know me through words and rumors
But do ya da do ya da do ya know me through the hurt?
That pill and swallow drink another
Piece to find clarity

Think a little harder
Dance a little longer
You can handle these all but do they let you know?
How hard it is when you fall, fall, fall

It fades to black
Free

It fades to black
Free

Love so hard till I felt it
Kissed him twice as much I meant it
Flash forward ten years after that
Killed him car was split in half

They say life is so easy
Work real hard good comes to you
Lived by that 'till my brother turned thirty-two
Now tell me how does the good really come to you

You may think you know me through wars and rumors
But do ya da do ya da do ya know me through the hurt?
Take that pill and swallow drink another
Piece to find clarity

Think a little harder
Dance a little longer
You can handle these all but do they let you know
How hard it is when you fall, fall, fall

It fades to black
Free

It fades to black
Free

I was born just a flower
Painted petals free of weeds.........
