she dreams of the country her eyes go far away she wishes for happiness the beauty of brighter days sometimes life seems so grey so she sees it through different eyes like a flower pushing up through concrete to thrive cause she s always known that there was something more like a hunger in her belly like an instinct tellin her that there was something more this living can t be called livin if it s really only half a life she s a flower that grows despite cement walls and she will survive she will survive she s a rare breed with rose petal lips and leafy limbs in conversations she looks for cracks to dig her roots deep in the waves comes up like daisies she pushes her head to the sun says i m still me despite these circumstance and the best has yet to come she s always known there was something more like a hunger in her belly like an instinct tellin her that there was something more this living can t be called livin if it s really only half a life she s a flower that grows despite cement walls and she will survive she will survive challenges do not define us we are shaped by how we carry on this is our opportunity to decide the kind of women we want to become and so it is with great gratitude and the strength of humility we transform pain into victory by digging our roots deep  and always know that there is something more there s this hunger in our bellies like an instinct tellin us that there is something more this living can t be called livin if it s really only half a life we are flowers that grow despite cement walls and we will survive and we will survive
