Boulders and Roses

There is a girl who carries her boulders
Inside and outside she covers in roses
So they don’t notice that she’s got the weight on her back
And she makes some space
Just in case yours gets heavy
And she doesn’t mind
Even though she’s got plenty
‘Cause somehow her boulders feel lighter
If she’s got yours too

And she sings:
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da
Da
Da
Da

She grew from a seed
Buried under the pavement
And you think on paper
She shouldn’t have made it
But she still believed that the sunlight was somewhere above
So she sang a song
In her sediment prison
And everything moved in this
Delicate rhythm
The rocks would collide
Making cracks for the light to shine through

And she sings:
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da
Da
Da
Da

Now she carries boulders
For many occasions
For lovers and family
Even for strangers
And she doesn’t blame them
Just happy to save them the trouble of standing alone
So she stacks the boulders and starts to feel lighter
And climbs to the top where the sunshine seems brighter
If you stand beside her
She might help you find your way home

And she sings:
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da
