lyrics

Sun or snow,
Flowers grow in the darndest places,
Their happy faces,
Giggle at me from the ground.

These pretty places,
You pressed your face in rose gardens,
Until they hardened,
And started to crumble,
And lose their red.

Flower,
Left for dead,
In garden beds,
Behind a metal fence,

Pure and white,
Edelweiss on the treppelweg,
That cut your leg,
Left me a trail of your blood,
In the mud,
And like every yesterday -
Doomed to bloom and wilt away.

Flower,
Left for dead,
On river beds,
Been raining ever since.

Flower,
Battered and bruised,
You’ve been kicked and confused,
Stand up - it’s time to bloom.
