Flowers - India.Arie

The world can be so cold but you are always warm

When my back is tight, you take me in your arms

You’re the moral compass directing me to light

You’re the golden glow in the middle of my night

In recognition of the person that you are

In celebration of your heart

That’s why I wanna give you your flowers now

That’s why I wanna give you your flowers now

You’re the sacred in the face of the profane

You held the mirror up and helped me face the pain

Just like velvet covering my heart of glass

You’re the reason I know that this, too, shall pass

For the gorgeous human being that you are

For helping me accept my scars

That’s why I wanna give you your flowers now

That’s why I wanna give you your flowers now

I hope that they brighten your life

The same way your smile brightens mine

My world had blown away and you are all that’s left

You took the needle from the center of my chest

For the gorgeous human being that you are

For showing me I am a star

That’s why I wanna give you your flowers now

That’s why I wanna give you your flowers now
