Tall as grass, narrow as a tree

This has always been a part of me

Blue as summer sky

Doesn't take a lot to get a girl like me to cry

I've been under stress

And I have found that folding in has been what feels the best

Bound up at the root

Tired of telling lies when I can't bear to tell the truth

I've been waiting, waiting to bloom

I've been waiting, waiting to bloom

I've been waiting, waiting to bloom

Waiting to bloom

I went underground

I was sure I'd be found

Dried out as the dust

Desiccated from the energy it takes to trust

I've been waiting, waiting to bloom

I've been waiting, waiting to bloom

I've been waiting, waiting to bloom

Waiting to bloom

At night, my voice rises up like water

That's how I know it's time to grow

I've been underground

You thought that you had buried me

You couldn't hear me make a sound

I've been spreading roots

And though I can't yet see the sun

I can hear her say come

I've been waiting, waiting to bloom

I've been waiting, waiting to bloom

I've been waiting, waiting to bloom

Waiting to bloom
