Blooming

[Intro – Spoken Word over mellow groove] Mmm… We don't force the flower to bloom, We water the soul and let her rise in her time. This one's for every petal that survived the wind... [Verse 1] Sunflower soul, always turning toward the light, Even in shadows, she finds her height. Golden halo, heavy head—but still divine, She don’t chase the sun, she aligns. Peonies whisper in layered shades of blush, Unfolding secrets in a lover’s hush. Soft but sacred, scent like rain, Delicate fire, dancing through pain. [Pre-Chorus] And ain’t that life, the way we grow? Roots deep in silence, but we still show. Colors bloom from what we know… Ooh… and what we let go. [Chorus – Soft Harmonies, Jazzy Phrasing] I bloom like that, slow and sweet, Rhythm in my soul, love in my feet. Grace in the struggle, smooth in the fight, Like lilies in moonlight, hushin' the night. I bloom like that, soft and true, Wild like azaleas kissed with dew. In chaos or calm, I stay intact… Yeah baby, I bloom like that. [Verse 2] Lily in the stillness, she don’t need the noise, Her silence hums louder than the boys. Holy in posture, sacred in frame, A quiet kind of power, no need for fame. Azaleas burn where the heartbreak lay, But she paint that pain in reds and grays. Tough little blossom, made of flame, She rise each spring with a brand new name. [Bridge – Sultry, Soulful Build] Cosmos, scattered stars in bloom, Born in mess, but still make room. Poetry don’t always rhyme, But baby… it still keeps time. [Chorus – Repeat with Emphasis] I bloom like that, slow and sweet, Rhythm in my soul, love in my feet. Grace in the struggle, smooth in the fight, Like lilies in moonlight, hushin' the night. I bloom like that, soft and true, Wild like azaleas kissed with dew. In chaos or calm, I stay intact… Oh, yes I do, I bloom like that. [Outro – Spoken, layered with harmonies] Let 'em talk 'bout roses... But I’m the garden in the wild— The thunder and the still. Sunflower spine, peony heart, cosmos dreams... And I bloom, still. (…yeah, I bloom like that.)
