Famous Flower of Manhattan |
And I found a flower in a field |
A field of cars and people |
Rows of concrete, paint, and steel |
Manhattan is where it grew |
And I thought to cut it from its stem |
And take it from the cracks |
Between the bricks that it lay in |
And save it from the city strife |
Away from the city life |
Then someone they whispered in my ear |
A country girl can’t be made out of anybody here |
Don’t touch it, it loves you not |
Don’t touch it, it loves you not |
Cause blue birds don’t fly without their wings |
And when we put them in a cage |
The world can’t hear them sing |
So selfish when greed sets in |
Possession, the king of sin |
And people don’t ever let you down |
Forever find a way to kill |
Whatever life they’ve found |
A heart beat and I want it too |
Manhattan is where she grew |
