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
