lyrics

Wildflower
I’d till the land for you but it was never me who planted you here
Wildflower
My sorrows end right when I least expect it, there your colours appear
Beneath the window
Between the broken patio stones
Wherever life can grow you spring your smiling face

Wildflower
How much I’d pay for just one seed and yet you fill my garden for free
Wildflower
Some people say you’re just a weed but if they’d only look they’d see
That every flower
Is made with holy power
And we are overgrown with heaven’s sweet embrace

Wildflower
Your simple colours have more charm than any make-ups, fabrics or dyes
Wildflower
Your simple truths are all I need while all the billboards shower us with lies

And when it’s raining
And when the sun is shining
In every flower I see you smiling back at me

Wildflower
Your loving fragrance is more sweet than any cold synthetic perfume
Wildflower
There is no product they could sell that could compare to laughing with you
Beside the water
Between the bricks and mortar
The highest wall they build won’t stop you growing free

So grow wildflower, with me wind
Sunward bound, our souls entwined
And in this broken world we’ll find
That all things love will bind

Wildflower
My people kill and hate but in your eyes I know that we can learn
Wildflower
Your gentle peace can grace the battlefield and bid the birdsong return
Cause when it’s raining
And when the sun is shining
Each time I see your smile it stills my strivings too

Wildflower
No-one can sell this to me, we don’t have to be what we’ve been told
Wildflower
No-one can tell you where to grow and let your buds of hope unfold
Beside the water
Between the bricks and mortar
The highest wall they build won’t stop me loving you

So grow wildflower, with me wind
Sunward bound, our souls entwined
And in this broken world we’ll find
That all things love will bind

This is all that I’m longing, that I’m dreaming
To be there in your arms evermore
All the life in the world knows this feeling
Love is one, love is free, love is all
