Lyrics
A SIMPLE GIFT
The sun lit up the meadow
Not another soul around
I spotted a little stem
Rising from the ground
I thought the fresh air
Would brighten up my mood
I sat beside the flower
In my solitude
And I relaxed
As I traced my tracks
And let my mind drift
Soon my surroundings
Found me
And this flower
Became a simple gift
I pushed the snow aside
To give it some more room
Everything deserves a chance
And a place to bloom
I marveled at its strength
To dare to come alive
It’s too cold but I know
This flower will survive
And I relaxed
As I traced my tracks
And let my mind drift
Soon my surroundings
Found me
And this flower
Became a simple gift
