Wait for the Flowers to Grow

Tightened jaw and heavy chest
Pacing floors, no time to rest
Living life on a thin wire
Running from a phantom fire

They point their fingers at the way I stand
Building borders across the sand
I'm walking forward through the gray
Just trying to find a better way

Wait for the flowers to grow
Wait for the flowers to grow
Through the doubt and all we don't know
Wait for the flowers to grow

Sideways looks and quiet words
Songs of peace I've never heard
The clock is ticking in my head
Tangled in the things they said

They point their fingers at the way I stand
Building borders across the sand
I'm walking forward through the gray
Just trying to find a better way

Wait for the flowers to grow
Wait for the flowers to grow
Through the doubt and all we don't know
Wait for the flowers to grow

Maybe tomorrow the tide will turn
Leaving the lessons we had to learn
Beyond the noise and the bitter heat
There is a garden beneath our feet

Wait for the flowers to grow
Wait for the flowers to grow
Through the doubt and all we don't know
Wait for the flowers to grow
Keep on walking
Let them grow
Wait for the flowers
