Have you ever heard of the flower that grew in the dark? Removed from the light and left to fall apart Uprooted, replanted and suspended in time Left to thrive where others have died Have you ever heard of the flower that grew in the dark? Thought to be weak yet was strong at heart Pressed down by the canopy with no view Cultivating its will to breakthrough Have you ever heard of the flower that grew in the dark? Petals unwithered, strengthened and bold Seen as a threat that could easily overgrow Seeking out the light through slithers of warmth Have you ever heard of the flower that grew in the dark? One day at a time, it grew and grew Stretching and reaching unseen by you Roots buried deep within the dirt, grasping on even when it hurt Have you ever heard of the flower that grew in the dark? How much further to the top can it be Every day felt like an eternity With the darkness being its only friend, Something brave grew from within Have you ever heard of the flower that grew in the dark? Trampled by boots and left in the fray A newfound strength to guide its way No more darkness, only light, it was time to rise up and take its full height Have you ever heard of the flower that grew in the dark? If you haven’t, trust me you have, just look around Because we are that rare flower that they tried to drown But water is food for a flower-like us It only dampened the ground, that lifted us up Have you ever heard of the flower that grew in the dark? Yes, you have It’s me It’s you We blossomed in the dark And now there is nothing we fear Not fate and not even you
