Flowers

Winters over I was drunk with it
Now I'm finally sober
All the dark days over
Never (Never), Never (Never), No Never
Never (Never), Never (Never), No Never
So Spring shows it's face
I chase it's embrace
And I, create my own light
And I, I fight for my own life
And I, walk into... I walk into the night
If nobody told ya, I'm going to be the one to hold ya
Gun in your holster
Give you flowers while you're here (Flowers while you're here)
Flowers while you're here (Flowers while you're here)
Flowers while you're here
New season, new truths, new chance to be commune
But are you ready?
It's now or never (never), never, now or never (never)
Never (never), Never, Now or never
So I did something
You live to learn again
And you, create your own light
And you, you fight for your own life
And you, you walk into... you walk into the night
If nobody told ya, I'm going to be the one to hold ya
Gun in your holster
Give you flowers while you're here (Flowers while you're here)
Flowers while you're here (Flowers while you're here)
Flowers while you're here

[Spoken: James Baldwin's "The Artist's Struggle for Integrity."]
"You can only take if you prepared to give
And giving is not an investment
It is not a day at the bargain counter
It is a total risk of everything
Of you and who you think you are
Who you think you’d like to be
Where you think you’d like to go—everything
And this forever, forever…"
