lyrics
Chorus 1:
Hold on to what you were made just to do
All that you need is already in you
Trust in the one that created you new
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful bloom
Hold on to who you were made just to be
Don’t wear those chains that they’ll give you, you’re free
Reach deep inside and go live out your dreams
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful tree
Verse 1:
Shorty was creative, and Imaginative
Age 8 with a play date in the backyard they playing
I’m a be Goku, you can be Vegeta
Shorty was a storyteller, shorty was a leader
Curious as they come, asked a lot of questions
Mama, why so many adults that I meet always stressing?
Used to take the family toaster, take it all apart
And put it back together, knew his favorite songs by heart
Loved exploring at the park, when he found something new
Loved to taste it, touch it, hold it, analyze it for a few
Got along with all he knew, no matter who they was
Sure he talked back a few times, but he showed his mama love
This is who he was, but not quite who he is
Cause somewhere down the road, something got flipped
Cause shorty works a job that he hates, can’t wait
To wish away the same life he once thought was great
Chorus 2:
Hold on to what you were made just to do
All that you need is already in you
Trust in the one that created you new
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful bloom
Verse 2:
She’s gone with the wind like a leaf from its stem
Never to be found or come back again
Just rustling, with other lost souls
Detached from the norm searching for the pot of gold
There’s desire in her heart and fire’s never gotten cold
But the tears put it out and I’d of never thought so
Marilyn was thirteen a newly found junkie
Fishing for a sunken dream, beauty bound and spunky
Far too ugly in the drug scene she chose hustling among things
Where loyalty is unseen based on greed and wanting
The outcome is obscene replaced by evil hauntings
Down comes the queen she’s a victim of the taunting
The sun is peaking through the clouds, there’s an overcast of shadows
Her canopy divides the flare; she’s harbored in the gallows
Vanity supplies her with reason to stay shallow
Marilyn Lives life to the measure of a half note
Chorus 3:
Hold on to who you were made just to be
Don’t wear those chains that they’ll give you, you’re free
Reach deep inside and go live out your dreams
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful tree
Outro:
Brokenness engulfing all the children that we hope in
The wickedness of evilness really is repulsing
Resuscitate the dreams, your heartbeat is still convulsing
Seeds planted on infertile land, but your DNA is potent
So potent, so beautifully potent
Regardless of the dirt, so full of life in this moment
So take a moment to reach inside of you
And become who you are, beautiful orchid, bloom
