Sunflower

Verse 1

I’ve walked through smoke and broken rooms

Ash in my lungs, old worn-out truths

They tried to tell me who I was

But you just see me as enough

Little hands in mine at night

You don’t know the battles I fight

But when you look at me that way

The darkness doesn’t stay

Pre-Chorus

You don’t know what you saved

Just by calling my name

You don’t know how you shine

Through every storm I survived

Chorus

You’re my sunflower

Growing toward the light

Even when the sky turns gray

You still rise

You’re my sunflower

Bright in every hour

When the world feels cold and wild

You’re my power

I burned it down

So you could grow

And I’ll be your shelter

Anywhere you go

Verse 2

I won’t hand you what hurt me

I won’t pass down what broke me

The fire stops with me

That’s my promise, that’s my legacy

If the wind ever shakes your stem

If the night tries closing in

I’ll stand between you and the rain

So you always bloom again

Pre-Chorus

You don’t see the scars

You just see your mom

And that’s the greatest gift

I’ve ever known

Bridge

I won’t let the fire reach you

I won’t let the smoke cloud your sky

Every storm that ever shook me

Stops with me tonight

You won’t carry what I carried

You won’t bleed the way I bled

I’ll turn every scar to soil

So your roots grow strong instead

And if the wind tries bending you

If the world feels far too loud

You’ll always have my arms around you

I’ll be your steady ground

Chorus

You’re my sunflower

Reaching for the sky

Every day you teach me how

To be alive

You’re my sunflower

Golden, brave and strong

I found my way out of the dark

So you’d never feel alone

I burned it down

And walked away

But I built a garden

For you to stay

Outro

And if they ever ask me why

I let the old world go

I’ll say I did it for

My sunflower.
