Lyrics

These flowers are coming up wild
They're coming up, they're coming up
They're coming up wild
These flowers are coming up wild
They're coming up, they're coming up
They're coming up wild
They are like those children
Who go off to school and don't come back
And I am like their mother
Waiting around about to crack
I want them back
You are like a flower
You rise and rise to the sun
You do not look back at where you came from
I wanna be like that
And the boys they run faster
And they throw harder and they get stronger
And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone
I wanna be like that
And the girls they are pretty
And they get silly when they get giddy
And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone
I wanna be like that
I'm on my knees in the corner
Wiping my floor, wiping my forehead
And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone
I wanna be like that
These flowers are coming up wild
They're coming up, they're coming up
They're coming up wild
