Let the petals turn to wings
Watch it radiate in a celestial glow
Do you still wish it ill?
Watch it radiate in a celestial glow
Do you still wish it ill?

Calm your raging eyes
Fuel not a hollow fire
Lower your accusing gaze
Point not at a whirling lily
Liberate the flower of sublimity
From the shackles of your enmity
Let it dance to a divine melody
Let it mix the blue into the green
Let it reach out to God
Let it feel the earth
Stab it not
With words of hostility
Let it love
With a heart of glory
Let the petals turn to wings
Watch it radiate in a celestial glow
Do you still wish it ill?
Do you still wish for it to wilt?
Can you not see in it
The infinite bounty
Of the Lord,
That turned a praying flower
Throwing itself at His mercy
To a symbol of love and peace
Soaring in the sky?
