🎵 "I Just Want to Reach the Flower (Duet Version)"

For male & female voice | Key: C major | Style: Soft acoustic or piano ballad

---

C – G – Am – F

(Instrumental: light fingerpicking or soft piano chords)

---

C

I used to crawl on the ground,

G

Slow, quiet, and small.

Am

The world felt too big for me,

F

And I felt like nothing at all.

---

C

Then one day, I stopped moving.

G

Wrapped myself up tight.

Am

I didn’t know if I’d come back,

F

Or if I’d ever get it right.

---

[Chorus – Both (Woman lead, Man harmonizing)

F

Now I’ve got wings,

G

But I don’t feel free.

Em

I fly around,

Am

But something’s missing in me.

F

There’s a flower I see,

C

Shining in the sun,

Dm

And I just want to reach it.

G

I just want to feel like someone.

---

C

The flower doesn’t speak,

G

But it says so much somehow.

Am

It stands so open, full of life—

F

And I just want to matter now.

---

C

Some days the wind is too strong,

G

And I can’t fly very far.

Am

My wings feel weak, the sky too wide—

F

And I forget who I really are.

---

Am – Woman:

I thought changing would be enough.

F – Man:

That flying meant I’d made it.

C – Woman:

But now I know the hardest part—

G – Man:

Is still feeling like I’m waiting.

---

F

So I keep flying.

G

Even when it’s slow.

Em

Even when I’ve got

Am

Nowhere to go.

F

The world might not see me

C

At all, but I know—

Dm

The flower still stands, still calls…

G

And I just want to feel that close.

---

F

Maybe it’s not just pollen.

G

Maybe it’s love.

Em

Maybe it’s peace,

Am

Or light from above.

F

Whatever it is,

C

I believe it’s true—

Dm

And I think it’s meant

G

For me and you.

---

C – Man (softly):

I’m not there yet. But I will be.

G – Woman (softly):

With these wings… I’ll try.

Am – Both (together):

‘Cause even if we were born low—

F – Both:

We were meant to touch the sky.
