Stare

Do the flowers bloom under a new moon?
No, that's not how flowers grow.
See, a flower only shows its face
when it basks in the suns warm glow.

So why do you suppose
that your neighbor needs your stare,
when the only way that you bloomed and grew
was under someone else's care?

Can a duckling hatch in the frozen snow?
Does an eaglet soar in rain?
Well the devil knows he can keep you down
by reminding you of your pain.

So why do you suppose
that your neighbor deserves your glare
when the only way that you learned to fly
was under someone else's care?

Please don't let go of my hand,
please don't let go of my heart.
I can only sing, I can only dance
if you show me where to start.
