about

A rockin' little metaphorical ballad about two flowers that fall in love and grow and prosper together.

lyrics

Grow
Words and music by Perry Devine

Used to think I had it made, a flower in the summer shade.
Shallow roots but growing proud and tall.
Now the winds are blowin’ strong, and the nights are gettin’ long.
Fragile flowers fear the fall.

Every day it just gets harder to keep on hangin’ on,
As I feel the ground around me letting go.
To stay alive is not enough, lord knows, I should know.
I know to keep on living, I must grow.

There you were a flower in the sun, bringing beauty to everyone.
Your roots were deep, your blossoms bold and bright.
But autumn was approaching, so many weeds encroaching,
Stealing all the water and the light.

Every day it just gets harder to keep on hangin’ on,
As you feel the ground around you letting go.
To stay alive is not enough, by now, you should know.
You know to keep on living, you must grow.

So grow a little closer to me, together we can both be free,
Two flowers become a vine.
Growing high above the weeds, the love we share fills all our needs,
Two hearts become entwined.

Every day we’re gettin’ stronger, reaching for the sun,
Clinging to each other when strong winds blow.
We sink our roots into the earth, and understand what love is worth.
It’s love that keeps us living, watch it grow.

To stay alive is not enough, deep down we all know,
It’s love that keeps us living, make it grow.
It’s love that keeps us living, make it grow.
