Jonathan Leach - The Innocence of a Flower Lyrics

I wish I was just a flower Someone picked in early spring
Spend my days in cups of water Purpose wouldn't mean a thing
My roots would grow out for forever But they would never touch the earth
All the while I would be cared for I'd never contemplate my worth

I wish I was just a flower Hatred never in my thoughts
Never searching for an answer The sun would be my only god
Choreography each morning Stretch my leaves to reach the light
I'd be loved for just existing My only job is to survive

No want, no worry No shame, no hurry
No past, no future No winners and no losers
Just me, I wish I was just a flower And I could just be
I wish I was just a flower I wish I was just a flower

Never need to make a sound A token of all adoration
Sweet memories when I am around No need to think about tomorrow
I'll die when it's no longer warm Deep in the center of my being
I know in spring I'll be reborn I know in spring I'll be reborn

No want, no worry No shame, no hurry
No past, no future No winners and no losers
Just me, I wish I was just a flower And I could just be
I wish I was just a flower Just me, I wish I was just a flower

And I could just be I wish I was just a flower
A flower I wish I was just a flower
