Time to Blossom

 

Verse 1

Concrete metal jungle
Survivors in a cage
We try to keep the spark alive
As light begins to fade
Walking through the wasteland
Bombed out city streets
Shells of empty buildings
Piles of rubble at your feet
When the siren goes When the siren goes
You’re welcome here

Verse 2

Welcome to the shelter
‘Til the sound of the ‘all clear’
Protection from the falling shells
A place to share your fears
Concrete metal jungle
A space within the trees
A shelter and a haven
And a place for you to breathe
When the siren goes When the siren goes
You’re welcome here

Chorus 1

It’s time for you to blossom
It’s time for you to heal
Embrace emotions, good and bad
Accept the way you feel
It’s time for you to blossom
Feel stronger all the time
Explore the world around you and
Stretch your branches high

Verse 3

A child who needs protection
Is sitting by your side
You’re old enough to drive the car
So, take the wheel of life
Listen to your body
As it guides you on your path
Then take your child upon your back
And teach them how to laugh
When the siren goes When the siren goes You’re welcome here

Chorus 2

It’s time for you to blossom
It’s time for you to heal
Embrace emotions, good and bad
Accept the way you feel
It’s time for you to blossom
Feel stronger all the time
Explore the world around you and
Stretch your branches high
(Instrumental)

Chorus 3

It’s time for you to blossom
Get stronger all the time
The safety of the desert skies
Guides you through the night
It’s time for you to blossom
It’s time for you to heal
Set your compass to the stars
And find a place to breathe
