Like a Flower, You will Bloom

Like the Flower, You Will Bloom


Dear children of the world
Brother, Sisters, Mothers and Fathers
Listen and hear the sound of my voice
Because I've got a story to tell
Dear children of the world
Open your eyes and take a walk with me

Through the highs and the lows
I want to tell of life's beauty
The beauty of you and me and all around
This life we have been given, given out of love,
is all the beauty that we'll need

Look to the flower growing out of rock
It had a rough beginning
As some of us have had
It is blooming in the darkness
For it knows the sun will shine soon

So listen when I say
The beauty of your life
Is that you are living each and every day
Open your eyes and look
At the beauty all around.

Your life may sometimes be rough
You are stuck in a rock like the flower
Keep fighting, keep growing
Like the flower, you will bloom.
