REAMES - The Sunflower In The Sea

A sunflower grows in the sea
Petals in the wind flung violently
And when the morning dawns in the East
It faces the sun defiantly
Growing in salt impossibly
Standing tall with integrity
And as each wave crashes over it
It refuses to break
Refuses to bend
Standing tall
Despite it all
Remaining firm inside the squall
Reaching up
It grows so tall
The salt in the water is poisoning
Each leaf growing on its stem
The tide pulls the roots but it always holds
Firmly planted in the depths below
The yellow flower doesn't wither
It grows stronger and never bitter
Defying impossible odds
A fuck you to the hand of God
The storms will come but the stem won't break
The tides will rise but they will not take
The sun will burn but it will not fade
Nothing else can decide its fate
And this is everything
And this is everything
And this is everything
And this is everything
It grows
And grows
It grows
It grows
Growing where life would not allow
Thriving when the waves are crashing down
Staring a hole into the sun
Staring a hole into the sun
It grows forever
It grows forever
