Orchid Child

“Orchid Child”
Music and Lyrics by Catherine Colleen

I sometimes feel so different
Like I’m made of something else
A different kind of fabric
And I’m always inside out

And I feel so exposed
Like everything is at a hundred and ten
I’ll watch you bounce back
And I’m just waiting til it will end

Watch me wilt or watch me grow
So beautiful
I need a little more give, a little more time
A little more space to come into my own and

Watch me wilt or watch me grow
If you have the patience to let me unfold
A little more care, be a little more there
And see how I could glow, yeah

On my own time, on my own time
Can’t put a clock on this and expect to feel
Aligned, on your time, within your lines
Don’t force what cannot be put on me
Give it time, maybe I’m, moving how I ought-a be
Moving how I ought-a

I sometimes feel so different
Like I was born as something else
A different kind of flower
Sensitive to styles of help

Watch me wilt or watch me grow
So beautiful
I need a little more give, a little more time
A little more space to come into my own and

Watch me wilt or watch me grow
If you have the patience, let me unfold
A little more care, be a little more there
And see how I could glow, yeah

I’m waiting out
I’ll wait it out
I’m waiting out
I’ll wait it out
I’m just waiting it out
I’m waiting out
I’m waiting it out
Waiting it out
