[Verse 1] Mud on your ankles Still you reach for the sun Dark water around you And you don't run Small hands in the current You hold your own ground Folded in the bottom Still waiting to crown [Pre-Chorus] And I know You were built for this Every scar Turned to silk and mist So rise, rise Through the murk and the rain Rise, rise Let the whole world say [Chorus] Lotus flower, lotus flower Open in the rain Lotus flower, lotus flower Teach me how to change From the dark below To the light above Lotus flower, lotus flower That's my kind of love [Verse 2] You don't beg for the moment You don't chase the gold You bloom where the water Keeps its secrets cold I wore heavy sorrow Like a chain on my chest You showed me how to breathe in And leave the rest [Pre-Chorus] And I know You were built for this Every wound Turns to something bright So rise, rise Through the murk and the rain Rise, rise Let the whole world say [Chorus] Lotus flower, lotus flower Open in the rain Lotus flower, lotus flower Teach me how to change From the dark below To the light above Lotus flower, lotus flower That's my kind of love [Bridge] Under the water I found my name Under the water I wasn't the same No more folding in fear No more staying small I was made for the sun I was made to stand tall [Final Chorus] Lotus flower, lotus flower Open in the rain Lotus flower, lotus flower Teach me how to change From the dark below To the light above Lotus flower, lotus flower That's my kind of love Lotus flower, lotus flower Blooming through it all
