Inside a Flower

Hold back the time Just let it hang Stop the seconds, minutes and hours And if I give you love Will you let me keep myself I'm sitting out here on the very edge of earth Looking through a book from long before the world began The man who gave it to me didn't have a name And overhead the sun is running down the day The book begins its story Tells of war and hate and tells of power The promises of freedom And of all religions, love and ways of life And how to Close your time inside a flower Stop the seconds, minutes and hours Close your time inside a flower Live your life forget the power The people passing by they stop to look at me They all think I'm crazy 'cause I'm laughing in the wind But I am free to be whatever I may choose To win this freedom I know that somebody had to lose I've learned to those who buy love And read about those willing to sell it When we're born it's for love Some of us will die just you get it What you gotta do is Close your time inside a flower Stop the seconds, minutes and hours Close your time inside a flower Live your life forget the power Forget the power Forget the power, eh We can give our love away and never lose ourselves But no one can be something that you own And if you think you've got the right to tell me what I am I've got no trouble leaving you alone Close your time inside a flower Stop the seconds, minutes and hours Close your time inside a flower Live your life forget the power Close your time inside a flower Stop the seconds, minutes and hours Close your time inside a flower Live your life forget the power (forget the power) Close your time inside a flower (inside a flower) Stop the seconds, minutes and hours (forget the power) Close your time inside a flower (all you gotta do is) Live your life forget the power (forget the power) Forget the power Forget the power Close your time inside a flower (eh) Stop the seconds, minutes and hours Close your time inside a flower (forget the power) Live your life forget the power
