Lilies

(Verse 1)
It's not easy being helpless
It's so hard not to have control
Give me simple give me selfless
Maybe that would make me whole

I feel motionless in time
It seems love has passed me by
All the chaos in my mind
Has taken it's toll

(Chorus)
But what if I grew lilies in the valley?
What if I could make the buzzin' bees smile?
What if I could breathe in all the sunlight, growing all the while?
What if I grew lilies?
Could I rest easy for a while?

(Verse 2)
Your rejection cuts in deep
It's the fuel this fire needed
So now in full view here I bleed
With no helping hand

All I wanted was a friend
Someone who could help me mend this
But sweet solitude settled in
See lone footprints in the sand

(Chorus)
But what if I grew lilies in the valley?
What if I could make the buzzin' bees smile?
What if I could breathe in all the sunlight, growing all the while?
And what if I could be a part of living?
What if I could feel like someone who's loved?
What if I could share my heart completely, one with God above?
What if I grew lilies?
Would this old world miss me much?

(Bridge)
I'm not supposed to feel so broken
I'm not supposed to feel so small
I'm never one to be soft-spoken
I'm not prepared to break my fall

I'm not supposed to feel so broken
(I've reached my end)
I'm not supposed to feel so small
(I've told my story, friends)
I'm never one to be soft-spoken
(I've reached my end)
I'm not prepared to break my fall
(I've told my story, friends)

(I'm at a loss)
I'm not supposed to feel so broken
(I've reached my end)
(A loss for words)
I'm not supposed to feel so small
(I've told my story, friends)
(I'm at a loss)
I'm never one to be soft-spoken
(A loss for words)
(I've reached my end)
I'm not prepared to break my fall
(I've told my story, friends)
(I'm at a loss)
I'm not supposed to feel so broken
(I've reached my end)
(A loss for words)
I'm not supposed to feel so small
(I've told my story, friends)
(I'm at a loss)
I'm never one to be soft-spoken
(A loss for words)
(I've reached my end)
I'm not prepared to break my fall
(I've told my story, friends)

(Chorus)
What if I grew lilies in the valley?
What if I could make the buzzin' bees smile?
What if I could breathe in all the sunlight, growing all the while?
What if I grew lilies?
What if I grew lilies?
What if I...?
