[Verse] Dear coltsfoot! You are not the most distinguished plant the cultures host. Though, you are strong, and lovely too, the way you first and foremost do. [Verse 2] You take the step as soon as snow has melted. You do start the show. Your courage is magnificent. There is not much encouragement. [Chorus] And ugly you are not at all! Perhaps you are not all that tall. But your indecent, yellow crown I happily would call my own! [Verse 3] By petals bright, by sunlit cheer, emerging bold, you reappear. In meadows wide, where shadows fade, you dance in light, seem unafraid. [Bridge] So here’s to you, dear coltsfoot bright, of hope a symbol, spring a light. In every spot I see your grace your message is, life is to face.
