Thorn and Bloom
[Verse 1] They said the soil was too rough for a rose Not enough water, not enough light to unfurl They labeled you "delicate", I suppose But they didn't know the petal of this girl *(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ah)* [Pre-Chorus] Little did they know, beneath the surface deep A stubborn root was waking from its sleep *(Yeah, yeah-yeah)* [Chorus] Oh, you’re thorn and bloom, a beauty born in a crowded room *(Aah-ooh)* Yeah, you grew up through the cracks, defying all the gloomy facts *(Mmh, yeah-yeah)* They see the twist, but they don't see the stronger stem Oh, your kind of beautiful’s a resilient gem! You’re thorn and bloom! [Verse 2] So what if your colors are a little unmatched? A little storm-tossed, a little off-beat Every scar that you gathered, every patch Just makes you more incredible and complete *(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ah)* [Pre-Chorus] You took the weather and you made it your design Turned all the struggle into something so divine *(Yeah, yeah-yeah)* [Chorus] Oh, you’re thorn and bloom, a beauty born in a crowded room *(Aah-ooh)* Yeah, you grew up through the cracks, defying all the gloomy facts *(Mmh, yeah-yeah)* They see the twist, but they don't see the stronger stem Oh, your kind of beautiful’s a resilient gem! You’re thorn and bloom! [Bridge] (Instrumental break with a funky bass solo and Hammond organ) They tried to plant you in a perfect row But perfect's boring, darling, don't you know? The sweetest fragrance comes after the rain The greatest beauty is born out of the pain! *(Ooh, out of the pain!)* [Guitar Solo] - Gritty, funky, and triumphant [Chorus] - (Bigger, with more power and layered harmonies) Oh, you’re THORN AND BLOOM, a beauty born in a crowded room! *(Aah-ooh!)* Yeah, you grew up through the cracks, defying all the gloomy facts! *(Mmh, yeah-yeah!)* They see the twist, but they don't see the stronger STEM! Oh, your kind of beautiful’s a resilient GEM! You’re thorn and bloom! [Outro] Thorn and bloom, baby, that's you! *(Aah-ooh, thorn and bloom)* Gonna shake the ground, yeah, show 'em how you're found... *(Mmh, yeah-yeah, show 'em how)* Thorn and bloom... (Fade out with a final, gritty guitar riff and a last *ooh-yeah!*)
