lyrics

Yellow Lotus Flower, like the sun you rise up from the darkness
Beyond grief is understanding, like the sun we rise up from the darkness

One lonesome yellow flower wanted to sing a song
She asked the lily pads and the frogs to sing along
Before she knew it there was a symphony at the pond
One lonesome yellow flower sharing her life song

I was born at the bottom of this muck
A slimy seed I was murky and stuck

Till a golden fish swam by
And what he said just changed my life

There's light at the top, you've got to believe me
So grow up and up, he beseeched me
Yeah, Yeah

Yellow Lotus Flower, like the Sun you rise up from the Darkness
Beyond Grief is Understanding like the sun we rise up from the darkness

I didn't know if this while light thing could be true
But I had to give it my all and see my mission through
So I sent my root down into the darkness of that scum
It cracked my skin open and the water entered my blood


My Green arms were growing, my torso was getting strong
I could feel the life within me writing its own song
I tilted my body back and lifted my head up high
For the first time in my life I felt the blue beginning
Of the Sky

This is it I'm almost there
Maybe it's too good I feel so scared
I feel a tightening here comes the air
And I gasped exploded and I
Opened my eyes
To the Gracious Sun
And in that moment she looked back at me we fell deeply in love
She warmed my yellow smile as I cried out loud
I'd never felt so loved I didn't know I was allowed

Oh Yellow Lotus Flower You are my sunshine
Oh won't you let me kiss you for the rest
Of Your Life

Yellow Lotus Flower, like the Sun you rise up from the darkness
Beyond Grief is Understanding like the sun we rise up from the darkness.
