Even the Wallflowers
From the moment you arrived here I've been utterly amazedAstonished at your level of perfectionSo it breaks my heart in pieces to imagine all the waysYou'll get hurt in spite of my protection'Cause someday I'll have to send you like a soldier off to schoolAnd the lesson you will learn there is that kids can be so cruelSo however well they like you and whatever grade you getPromise me baby that you won't forgetChorus:Even the wallflowers do survive - they can thriveEven in the shadowsAnd there is a power in finding out for yourselfRain or shine, whichever way it goesEven the wallflowers growWell I hope they choose you early when the captains pick their teamsAnd I pray that they invite you to their dancesI hope it doesn't hurt too much the times you skin your kneesAnd that your heart endures its first romancesI cannot imagine anyone not loving youBut everybody feels alone at least a time or twoAnd I wish that I could spare you any heartache down the roadBut maybe then baby you never would knowChorus:SongtexteEven the wallflowers do survive - they can thriveEven in the shadowsAnd there is a power in finding out for yourselfRain or shine, whichever way it goesEven the wallflowersGrow in soil that's watered byEvery single tear they cryBelieve me baby, you will liveAnd oneday you can tell your kidChorus:Even the wallflowers do survive - they can thriveEven in the shadowsAnd there is a power in finding out for yourselfRain or shine, whichever way it goesEven the wallflowers Aus Songtexte Mania
