Sam Heilig - Wildflowers (Acoustic) Lyrics

A dream deferred might not mean you got it wrong
It could be you're just looking in the wrong place
Hope can feel like it's stringing you along
But you wouldn't know joy without heartbreak
Even the sun gives way to the moon
So some battles you might lose

The gardens that you tend to
And all the seeds you'll sow
There'll be seasons where they grow up tall
And seasons where they won't
If you get tired of clearing out the weeds
I pray that they might turn out to be
Wildflowers

A dream denied can be a thorn stuck in your side
It'll grab a hold and it won't slip
People's words might not always be kind
But you don't have to let them cripple you like I did
Even a rose waits to be pruned
Before it can bloom

The gardens that you tend to
And all the seeds you'll sow
There'll be seasons where they grow up tall
And seasons where they won't
If you get tired of clearing out the weeds
I pray that they might turn out to be
Wildflowers
Wildflowers

Beauty doesn't tend to follow in
The footsteps of all the work that you put in
Usually it's found hidden in what's given
When you're not looking

The gardens that you tend to
And all the seeds you'll sow
There'll be seasons where they grow up tall
And seasons where they won't
If you get tired of clearing out the weeds
I pray that they might turn out to be
Wildflowers
Wildflowers
