LYRICS

THE GRAND OPENING

one tiny crocus grew through 

a crack in the street

not knowing the kind of world

she would meet

but she wanted to be here

in time for spring

didn’t want to miss

the grand opening

she stole that sliver of light

and made her escape

small wild one emerged

without a scrape

but there’s no space

in that broken place 

that’s easy to share

still she made me stop 

in my tracks to stare

hello everyone it’s almost spring

you know it’s true cause that’s

what crocuses bring

and they sing

we come for the sun

we are here

your days of darkness

will disappear

and you sing you sing spring is near

a crack in the clouds

recited the spell of fire

no words could draw the awe

that glow would inspire

though the only garden she knows

is the crack in the street

how many dreams can she grow

in that bed of concrete

wondering about the wanderers

who pass her by day

and the ones who see her

but still walk away

hello everyone it’s almost spring

you know it’s true cause that’s

what crocuses bring

and they sing

we come for the sun

we are here

will our days of darkness disappear

we want to sing we want to sing

spring is here

the crack in the street had been a 

dangerous dare

but it was worth it for the chance

to breathe the birth of air

and we sing we sing we sing
