Flower Child
Oh little sister, you know I miss you
Just like I always do this time of year
Nothing's changed with Mama's raving
She's convinced you still need saving
That someday you'll just up and reappear
You know how Mama gets when she's unstable
We don't talk about much around the table
But flower child, I think you got it right
Unworried by your darker self
And graceful in the light
You ignored the word 'forbidden'
And you made your own decision
You proved that you were strong enough to fight
Oh flower child, I think you got it right.
. Flower child, I think you got it right
O baby sister, you know she's wistful
Whenever Mama thinks that she's alone
Because she faced that choice you made
And she chose to be afraid
She can't see how you'd be happy on your own
You know how Mama gets when she's reminded
I don't leave your picture out where she can find it
But flower child, I think you got it right
Unworried by your darker self
And graceful in the light
You ignored the word 'forbidden'
And you made your own decision
You proved that you were strong enough to fight
Flower child, I think you got it right.
. Flower child, I think you got it right
Give my love to Dark and Handsome
Tell the boys I'll see them soon
I'll have some time to sneak a visit in the Fall
Persephone, you finally have all I hoped you might
Flower child, I think you got it right
Flower child, I think you got it right
Unworried by your darker self
And graceful in the light
You ignored the word 'forbidden'
And you made your own decision
You proved that you were strong enough to fight
Oh flower child, I think you got it right.
. Flower child, I think you got it right
Just like I always do this time of year
Nothing's changed with Mama's raving
She's convinced you still need saving
That someday you'll just up and reappear
You know how Mama gets when she's unstable
We don't talk about much around the table
But flower child, I think you got it right
Unworried by your darker self
And graceful in the light
You ignored the word 'forbidden'
And you made your own decision
You proved that you were strong enough to fight
Oh flower child, I think you got it right.
. Flower child, I think you got it right
O baby sister, you know she's wistful
Whenever Mama thinks that she's alone
Because she faced that choice you made
And she chose to be afraid
She can't see how you'd be happy on your own
You know how Mama gets when she's reminded
I don't leave your picture out where she can find it
But flower child, I think you got it right
Unworried by your darker self
And graceful in the light
You ignored the word 'forbidden'
And you made your own decision
You proved that you were strong enough to fight
Flower child, I think you got it right.
. Flower child, I think you got it right
Give my love to Dark and Handsome
Tell the boys I'll see them soon
I'll have some time to sneak a visit in the Fall
Persephone, you finally have all I hoped you might
Flower child, I think you got it right
Flower child, I think you got it right
Unworried by your darker self
And graceful in the light
You ignored the word 'forbidden'
And you made your own decision
You proved that you were strong enough to fight
Oh flower child, I think you got it right.
. Flower child, I think you got it right
