Dandelion

Tell me, why can't I stay a child forever? Why won't you let me be in my innocence? Like the birds that fly and never tend to realize everything that happens around them They sing away their fears all day and build their own nests And nobody makes them feel like they're different I'm not a dandelion you can use To whisper your wishes to Oh, don't blow away my blooms And I'm not a robin, you can't use my nest To hide your treasures To hide your own fears You don't realize what I realize You just think I sit in the silence I sit in the silence and sing my own tune Tell me why you think I've never seen the rain Why should I be the one to miss the downpour? Because everyone tries to struggle and fight against whatever they can't control And storms coming down too often drown the ones who thought they'd survive Umbrellas can't save them now I'm not a dandelion you can use To whisper your wishes to Oh, don't blow away my blooms And I'm not a robin, you can't use my nest To hide your treasures To hide your own fears You don't realize what I realize You just think I sit in the silence I sit in the silence and sing my own tune I'm not a dandelion you can use To whisper your wishes to Oh, don't blow away my blooms
