"Flowers" lyrics
Joshua Luke Smith & Madison Ryann Ward Lyrics
I know that you've been anxious
Feeling like their ain't enough hours in the day
And life can be so thankless
Getting nothing back for the ways you make a change
I know that you've been angered
Calling out and cursing God every time you pray
But stop and smell the flowers on your way
Stop and the smell the flowers on your way
Can you spare a penny for my thoughts or something more?
Looking for shrapnel on the floor outside the corner store
When we were at our poorest
Counting coins for the meter
With no food left in the freezer
And a preacher spitting through the speaker - Lord have mercy
I pray that change gone' come
And my God can make a way when there ain't no one
I feel enslaved to the sums with more month then funds
Chased by these debts and regrets and these pests that I can't outrun
Take some time and find the lies behind the rage
Coz' of the spirit of this age has me feeling like I'm caged
Demons feanin' on my dreams feasting on my brain stealing my domain
I need a peace that can't be reasoned or explained
I keep on praying
I know that you've been anxious
Feeling like their ain't enough hours in the day
And life can be so thankless
Getting nothing back for the ways you make a change
I know that you've been angered
Calling out and cursing God every time you pray
But stop and smell the flowers on your way
Stop and the smell the flowers on your way
Anxious about the evidence
Of my influence and relevance
My penmanship is heaven sent
But the devil's on my neck again
Wish I could tell a friend
I've been walking through hell again
Up at night from
Mixing Ardbeg with adrenaline
Life is fleeting
I learnt more from recovery meetings
Then hearing preachers speaking
Ain't no teacher like my weakness
A broken man once told me
"There's difference between being lonely
And solitude that confronts
And consoles your own self loathing"
He said until you've been alone
And faced What only you control
You'll keep reeling havoc on the world
Whilst acting like it's not your fault
So keep forgiving
Keep listening and bearing witness
You'll find a peace without conditions
That that transcends and won't diminish
I know that you've been anxious
Feeling like their ain't enough hours in the day
And life can be so thankless
Getting nothing back for the ways you make a change
I know that you've been angered
Calling out and cursing God every time you pray
But stop and smell the flowers on your way
Stop and the smell the flowers on your way
When your peace is lost
And it can't be found
Look up, look down
Look around
When your peace is lost
And it can't be found
Look up, look down
Look around
When your peace is lost
And it can't be found
Look up, look down
Look around
When your peace is lost
And it can't be found
Look up, look down
Look around
When your peace is lost
And it can't be found
Look up, look down
Look around
When your peace is lost
And it can't be found
Look up, look down
Look around
Feeling like their ain't enough hours in the day
And life can be so thankless
Getting nothing back for the ways you make a change
I know that you've been angered
Calling out and cursing God every time you pray
But stop and smell the flowers on your way
Stop and the smell the flowers on your way
Can you spare a penny for my thoughts or something more?
Looking for shrapnel on the floor outside the corner store
When we were at our poorest
Counting coins for the meter
With no food left in the freezer
And a preacher spitting through the speaker - Lord have mercy
I pray that change gone' come
And my God can make a way when there ain't no one
I feel enslaved to the sums with more month then funds
Chased by these debts and regrets and these pests that I can't outrun
Take some time and find the lies behind the rage
Coz' of the spirit of this age has me feeling like I'm caged

When your peace is lost
And it can't be found
Look up, look down
Look around
When your peace is lost
And it can't be found
Look up, look down
Look around
