Sunflowers Lyrics

VERSE 1

Thank you for forgiving
Hurtful things I've done as a child
Adolescent or woman
Thank you for embracing
A flaxen-haired baby
Although I'm aware you had doubts
I guess anybody'd have had doubts

VERSE 2

Please be at peace father
I'm at peace with you
Bitterness isn't worth clinging to
After all the anguish
We've all been though

VERSE 3

Thank you for the mountains
The lake of the clouds
I'm picturing you and me
There right now
As the crystal cascades showered down

BRIDGE

Strange to feel that proud, strong man
Grip tightly to my hand
Hard to see the life inside
Wane as the days went by
Trying to preserve each word
He murmered in my ear
Watch part of my life disappear

VERSE 4

Father, thanks for reaching out
And lovingly
Saying that you've always
Been proud of me
I needed to feel that so desperately
You're always alive inside of me
Now you're shining like
A sunflower up in the sky
Way up high
