track 4 from "insight"

lyrics

a flower in my hand is the only gift I get from the show / the colour is faded, it’s broken and dry but it’s been born to show more / I don’t know its name but the beauty I see is mysterious and clear / It’s only a gift but I can see more, holding back tears // climb up the stairs, see her waiting just for me / with a dirty apron and her orange hair she looks like a freak / with an absent mind, scissors in her hand, she takes my gift away: / I can help you my dear, just don’t be afraid // your soul is a flower in my hand / just give you some water and you will understand / how to grow again / cut all these old leaves and turn to the light / believe in yourself / You’re longing for your summertime // her little room’s coloured by million flowers in every corner / she takes some of them, makes up a bouquet with my little flower / yellow and red, some of blue, green and black like a rainbow it shines / she gives me the bunch and it will become mine // My soul is a flower in your hand / just give me some water and I will understand / how to grow again / cut all these old leaves and guide me to the light / give me all I need / I’m longing for my summertime // don’t have to choose any colour, I just need some light to grow / don’t want to choose any colour, cause life is so colourful //
My soul is a flower in your hand / just give me some water and I will understand / how to grow again / cut all these old leaves — guide me to the light / give me all I need / I’m longing for my summertime
