i'm taught to love myself for my body and my mind
and him, for the things he does to me - for me
but my body grows older and my mind, it gets slower
so what does he love me for?
little girl in a bed of wildflowers
grows whether she knows about it,
opens and closes for the one
who opens and closes to her love.
she doesn't know herself or where she'll go,
doesn't understand it's inevitable
(the rose opens and closes for the sun)
she opens and closes for the one who sees her soul
he's taught to love himself for his mind and what he owns,
for how he treats the little girl - most times he gets it wrong
'cause he squeezes too tight and he's mean in a fight
but it's never been what i loved you for
little boy in a bed of wildflowers
grows whether he knows about it,
opens and closes for the one
who opens and closes to his love.
he doesn't know himself or where he'll go,
doesn't understand it's inevitable
(the rose opens and closes for the sun)
he opens and closes because i see his soul
and it's beautiful, pure and wild,
untamable, made of light and love,
see's right through the darkness in my life
to the animal who lives inside
little girl in a bed of wildflowers
grows whether she knows about it,
opens and closes for the one
who opens and closes to her love.
she doesn't know herself or where she'll go,
doesn't understand it's inevitable
(the rose opens and closes for the sun)
we open and close for love
