I've seen the sun shine in the mountains
Felt the warmth of the ocean breeze
Dinned on the finest philly cheese
I've felt the sadness of a man on his knees

Broken beaten left behind
Opened sweetened lost my mind
The flower bloomed in the dead of night
Pedals blackened from the lack of light

A ray of sun shined on the stem
The flower grew into the wind
Bent and broken now it lays
The brief moment of hope
Left to decay.
