There's A Flower That Wants To Grow

There’s A Flower That Wants To Grow


There’s a flower in the earth,
there’s a flower in the earth
that’s growing toward the light;
Struggling forth from darkness
to reach the sunshine bright,
it will soon fade away
when the rain on it falls.
And the kiss of warm sunshine will
Bring it back to life.
When the northwind blows chill
On its leaflets tender,
Buds and fruit together
All sadly droop and fade
And its blighted green leaves
Quickly fall and wither,
Just because you cared not
Nor warmed them with your smile.
