Marigold

I was in third grade

Got a potted plant full of flowers

Ran home and gave them to my mom

She said that they were marigolds

What you call your garden-variety weed

Oh, I'm a marigold

And you picked me

So anyway

I should buy my mom a bouquet

Just to say hey, I'm thinking about you today

That's right

Thinking about everything you did for me

Like always saying, "Grace sets you free"

Oh, I'm a marigold

And you picked me

It's not sad anymore

Nothing but the Son in your eyes

If I ever do better than second place

I've gotta go and make a play for your heart

A dormant volcano slowly waking up on New Year's Day

I wont be sprinting to finish the race

But I can feel the butterflies from the start

It's like when I start running, and there's

Nothing but the Son in your eyes

If I am getting closer than present state

I've gotta do something to tear it apart

Twenty carnations slowly waking up for you these days

I won't be sprinting to finish the race

But I can feel the butterflies from the start

You've got your blue sunglasses

And there's nothing but the Son in your eyes

Nothing but the Son in your eyes
