My One Wild Flower

[Verse 1]
You came late to the table
Shoes untied
Shirt on wrong
Brothers lined up in a straight row
You were humming your own song
They like rules and tidy corners
You like questions
Midnight skies
They march forward in a straight line
You spin circles
Close your eyes
[Chorus]
You are my one wild flower
Growing sideways in the yard
Different colors
Different hours
Beating with a different heart
I only want the sun to find you
Shelter you from every storm
You are my one wild flower
And my arms will be your home (always)
[Verse 2]
They bring home their perfect papers
You bring pockets full of stones
You say
“Mom
They’re little planets
I just couldn’t leave ’em alone”
They like games they know they’ll win at
You like ones nobody’s tried
Sometimes I stay up there beside you
Just to watch your shining mind
[Chorus]
You are my one wild flower
Growing sideways in the yard
Different colors
Different hours
Beating with a different heart
I only want the sun to find you
Shelter you from every storm
You are my one wild flower
And my arms will be your home
[Bridge]
When the world feels sharp and heavy
And you wonder if you fit
I will sit down in your meadow
Every thorn is worth it
You don’t have to be like others
You don’t need to change a thing
I will love you in your chaos
Like the air loves the spring (oh, I will)
[Chorus]
You are my one wild flower
Growing sideways in the yard
Different colors
Different hours
Beating with a different heart
I only want the sun to find you
Shelter you from every storm
You are my one wild flower
And my love will be your home

Verses stay close and conversational, vocal almost whispery at first; chorus lifts with airy harmonies and soft pads. Subtle bass and light percussion support a tender arc, final chorus blooms with stacked vocals and a delicate glockenspiel sparkle., soft
