Power of the Sunflowers

[Verse 1] Cracked old porch Coffee going cold in my hand Same gray thoughts Settling like dust on the land Then I see them by the fence line Leaning toward the day Little bursts of yellow Pushing all the shadows away [Chorus] Power of the sunflowers Turning their faces to the sky Teaching my tired heart How to keep reaching up high They don't ask the morning why it took so long to come They just rise They just rise In the power of the sun [Verse 2] Wind comes through Bends them but it can't make them break Storm clouds bruise Still they hold their ground and wait Every seed a tiny promise Hidden in their core Standing in that garden I don't feel so lost anymore [Chorus] [Bridge] If they can glow in gravel Grow through rust and wire Maybe I can learn To follow my own fire So I stand there in the dim light Turning slow like they do Let the day fall on my shoulders Til my heart feels golden too [Chorus]
