Green Grass Lyrics

Picture this

You're growing in the grass

Swaying side to side

Feeling happiest with that

People walk by

Admiring your beauty

Reach for you in some attempt to know your story

But your thorns cut sharper than knives

People think you're not all that fine

Gorgeous on the outside

But can never be reached on the inside

I'm not a toy to be picked with and played

I am a source of power and praise

I know my worth as well as yours

I'll keep you close let the sun absorb

Living my life while so many come around

Picking my pedals without making a sound

You'll watch my wither from time to time

Now watch me bloom

Getting closer to the light

I try I try

I try I try

To protect

That simple little light

I try I try

I try I try

But they cut through with all of their knives

I'm not a toy to be picked with and played

I am a source of power and praise

I know my worth as well as yours

I'll keep you close let the sun absorb

Letting the sun absorb

Into your skin

You'll share it so kindly with your kin
