You were only a flower girl
Selling flowers on the street.
A beautiful breath of color
In a cold gray world.
Surrounded by the crowds
Yet always alone.
Endangered by your birthright
Empowered by your blood.
Escaped from the miasma
Your eyes were wide
A world made new
A life yet to live.
A love meant to be.
The world was threatened
All life was endangered
A madman's dream
The planet's death.
To save our lives
To save our loves
To save our dreams
You gave up your own.
Beneath the lost city
Where your ancestors danced
You knelt at the altar
You prayed for our future
And fell forever.
Now the sun shines brightly
The wind blows softly
The trees rustle lazily
The children laugh happily.
The memories you'll never have
Are now ours to embrace.
The dreams you'll never dream
Are now ours to chase.
You were only a flower girl
Selling flowers on the street.
Your emerald eyes shine no more
But the flowers will remain
And bloom... forever.
