lyrics

Silent, silent, silent and slow
a delicate petal, released from the rose
free of her fetters, and light on her toes,
lithe as the wind that blows

for a joy as big as the sky
as fierce and harsh as life's first cry
is the only thing she knows
and she is unafraid to let go.

behind the rose, a modest bloom;
behind the bloom, a bud;
buds are born from stems and thorns,
a shoot takin' root in the mud.
