Flower

She dreams of the country

Her eyes go far away

She wishes for happiness

The beauty of brighter days

Sometimes life seems so grey

So she sees it through different eyes

Like a flower pushing up through concrete

to thrive 'cause

She's always known

That there was something more

Like a hunger in her belly

Like an instinct tellin' her that there was something more

This living can't be called livin'

And it's really only half a life

She's a flower that grows despite cement walls

And she will survive

She will survive

She's a rare breed with rose petal lips

And leafy limbs

In conversations she looks for cracks

To dig her roots deep in

The waves comes up like daisies

She pushes her head to the sun

Says "I'm still me despite these circumstance

Says "the best has yet to come"cuz

She's always known

There was something more

Like a hunger in her belly

Like an instinct tellin' her that there was something more

This living shouldn't be called livin'

And it's really only half a life

She's a flower that grows despite cement walls

And she will survive

She will survive

Challenges do not define us

We are shaped by how we carry on

This is our opportunity

To decide the kind of women we want to become

And so, it is with great gratitude

And the strength of humility

We transform pain into victory

By digging our roots deep

And always know

That there is something more

there's this hunger in our bellies

Like an instinct tellin' us that there is something more

This living cannot be called livin'

And it's really only half a life

We are flowers that grow despite cement walls

And we will survive

And we will survive

And we will survive
