Flower And The Weed

Am F Am F Am F Am F Am G F F G A flower grows out from the earth with a weed around its legs Am G F E A simple kind of birth that no one came to see E Am E Am E Am G The flower looked down at the weed that groveled in the dregs E Am E Am E Am G F G It tried to shake the ugly seed to cause the thing to flee Am F Am F Am F Am F Am G F F G For many days, the flower glared down at the parasite Am G F E And as she looked, her anger flared, her health to take the cost E Am E Am E Am G But through her tremors, and flails, and kicks, the weed had held on tight E Am E Am E Am G F G And in this dead, unholy mix, neither one had lost Am F Am F Am F Am F Am G F F G And as the weed looked at the flower, he cursed her charming name Am G F E For though she held so much great power, she would share none with he E Am E Am E Am G He simply wanted to grow up high, his rightful place to claim E Am E Am E Am G F G For in a field, all things would try to become a tree Am F Am F Am F Am F Am G F F G And in their warring, bloody state, they opened up their eyes Am G F E For though both had become irate, they both shared the same need E Am E Am E Am G The need to grow, the want to thrive, they came to compromise E Am E Am G They simply wanted to feel alive, both the flower and the weed Am F Am F Am F Am6
