art is the flower

art is the flower 

birthed out of cemented pain

I believe in a child's heart

I believe once it's made up

it will forever be steadfast

A child will be forever young

despite how they grow up real fast 

what they mean to you is different than what the same child means to me 

I'm one child's old man

his young life full of unimaginable difficulty

I see a unique mind about to bloom

I think about how he sees the world

I won't have to wonder too much longer 

art is the flower 

birthed out of cemented pain

 

art is the flower 

birthed out of cemented pain

My son was born in the year twenty seventeen

That year I thought I was achieving Pike's Peak

when I thought I was flying high

to my lady, I was flat 

like Aroostook county plaine

He experienced bad things 

turmoil is like mental oil 

dysfunctional family life brings

I don't worry about the life behind me

I look forward to the future because 

art is the flower 

birthed out of cemented pain
