Flower Child - Thomas Helmig

Flower Child Lyrics

You take that perfect seed
You plant that love so deep
You fold your hands and pray for rain
Daddy liked to drink and smoke
Mama thought your dreams were a joke
You grew up dark in a garden of pain
Like the sun and the rain forgot your name
When nobody waters a flower child
You get a scared little girl with a broken heart
Growing wild I think Iâ??m in love
Iâ??ve got the water for my flower child
My love can fill this pail
And bring you back to health
And make those petals want to stay
Youâ??ve gone from man to man to man
But still you can not stand
Iâ??ve got the sun right in my hands
Canâ??t you see that I will understand?

When nobody waters a flower child
You get a scared little girl with a broken heart
Growing wild I think Iâ??m in love
Oh my flower child I think Iâ??m in love
Iâ??ve got the water for my flower child
Has the light gotten through to you?
Donâ??t be afraid to say you feel it too
I know inside you thereâ??s a sweet perfume
