Painted Flowers

I'll make it through 
the darkest dark with painted
flowers upon my heart
my head will rise and
and my feet may fail but
with painted flowers 
I will prevail

Plant this seed and tell your tale
grow your garden, open the veil
Wish your dreams into the sky
Don't look back now, don't ask why

For you are safe in my arms
for I live deep inside your heart
You will die, but time will tell
So paint your flowers and paint them well

You'll make it through 
the darkest dark with painted
flowers upon your heart
Your head will rise and
and your feet may fail but
with painted flowers 
you will prevail

Get up child, get up now
it's time to wake up and show them how
Don't let the ground have your blood
Don't feed the fire,Don't feed the flood

Hold your guns and aim them well
Protect your freedom, break their spell
United we are strong, if kept apart we are numb

So know your rights and know them well
Our victory's waiting, I can hear the bells

We'll make it through
the darkest dark with painted 
flowers upon our hearts
our heads will rise and
our feet may fail but with
painted flowers we will prevail

Hold my hand and let us sing
songs of freedom, let it ring
the hours are broken, the battles won
because we let our hearts become one

We'll make it through
the darkest dark with painted 
flowers upon our hearts
our heads will rise and
our feet may fail but with
painted flowers we will prevail

So light your candle, look at the stars
take your first steps into the dark
