The Flowers, The Weeds Lyrics by Blackberri

Walls To Roses: Songs of Changing Men

0

[Verse 1]
Once in a town like yours, like mine
Some people worked, some thieved
They lived, they loved, they laughed and they lied
For the things that they all believed
But there was some who were different
And this is the story of one
When the people in the town discovered he was different
Oh so different, yeah
They tried to make him feel guilty for having his fun
They say, "You ought to be ashamed of yourself
Now shouldn't you, son?"
[Chorus]
Just because the boy ignores the flowers
And pays attention to the weeds
The people in the town replied
He's very strange indeed
[Post-Chorus]
He's not a flower
He is a weed
But he's not like
The kind we breed
It is his kind
We do not need
So don't
And so he must leave
Yes, he must leave
So he must leave
[Verse 2]
Soon the word, the word, the word, the word got
All over town, yeah
And just about everybody there was
Putting the poor boy down
But there was one
Who spoke out from the crowd
'Cause she was quite wise
Because she was quite proud
She prided herself in her humanity
She made them all
Question their own sanity
And she said
"Oh, why don't you give a little?
Don't you know
He's got to live a little?
So let go
Why don't you
Give a little?"
[Chorus]
Just because the boy ignores the flowers
And pays attention to the weeds
He is not very strange at all
He has a gift indeed
[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes the flowers
And sometimes the weeds
Discover that
We've different needs
So we must all
Our souls be freed
So don't accuse
Don't you refuse
Another human
No, don't you abuse
Don't you abuse
Another, another human
