Bloom by Dan Johnson
Momma said bloom where you're planted.
Make the place you are your home.
She said, what if my seed landed,
Where flowers won't grow from a stone?
They said, you ought to count your blessings.
There's far worse places you could be.
She said, if this is where God put me,
Then let an angel spread her wings.
She said I can fly. I won't touch the ground.
I need to climb high and take a good look around.
You'll stay in my heart, wherever I may go.
But it's time for me to leave here and find a life to call my own.
Dreams are a whisper in the darkness.
She fumbled round to find her way.
She called her mom, when she got scared to death,
But only said, she was doing okay.
She knew they'd catch her if she stumbled.
She had to do this by herself.
She'd rather trip on her own feet,
Than hold their hands and ask for help.
She said I can fly. I won't touch the ground.
I need to climb high and take a good look around.
You'll stay in my heart, wherever I may go.
But I gotta keep trying to make a life to call my own.
Real life happens quickly.
It'd been years since she'd been home,
When Daddy called, said Momma's sick, babe.
The doctor says she don't have long.
So she held her Momma's frail little hand.
She said I wish I hadn't gone.
But Momma said you did the right thing,
I'm proud of the woman you've become.
But I've got to fly. I won't touch the ground.
I need to climb high and take a good look around.
You'll stay in my heart, wherever I may go.
But it's time for me to leave here, cause this old world, it's not my home.
She said Momma fly. Don't touch the ground.
I'll meet you on high. We'll have so much to talk about.
You'll stay in my heart, wherever I may go.
And I'll see you when that day comes. You'll always be my home.
I'll see you when that day comes. Cause Momma you've always been my home.
