[Verse 1] A rose is closed Before it opens Something grows Before it blooms It needs the rain It needs the sunlight A place to put Its little roots [Pre-Chorus] And maybe love Who knows? Some things need time Before they show [Chorus] Do we bloom by trying Or by letting go? Is there something in between That we don’t yet know? Do we need to reach For everything we see? Or can we grow a little By letting things be? [Verse 2] A rose won’t ask If it belongs here Or if its colour Suits the room It doesn’t wonder If it’s growing Too slow, too fast Or out of tune [Pre-Chorus] But maybe we do Who knows? We look for signs As something grows [Chorus] Do we bloom by trying Or by letting go? Is there something in between That we don’t yet know? Do we need to reach For everything we see? Or can we grow a little By letting things be? [Bridge] And in a bunch Of different flowers Some stand tall And some stay low Is it better To bloom the brightest Or change your colours To match them all? [Final Chorus] Do we bloom by trying Or by letting go? Does a little bit of both Help a flower grow? And we all need A little help Some rain, some earth Some love as well
