How do the soft white lilies grow
In a world so full of hate?
Where violence is the common ground
And nightfall conqours day.
How do the soft white lilies grow
In a world so full of fear?
Where danger lies behind human eyes
And we hide throughout the year.
How do the soft white lilies grow
In a family torn apart?
Where poverty has made a home
And ravaged the loving heart.
How do the soft white lilies grow
In a world thats full of lies?
Where honesty has backed down
And abandoned all our lives.
How do the soft white lilies grow
In a world thats full of pain?
When crying makes its daily rounds
And happiness is in vain.
Despite the hate, the fear, the pain,
Through lies our lilies grow.
Soft and white with watchful eyes
e teach them as we go.
