Begin Again

Flowers fold when the sun goes down
Protect their parts, take off their crowns
By morning light they bloom again
Like new they begin again
New, they begin again

The days get shorter and the nights grow colder
Withering jewels fall and fade with the wind
The crowns may be bare, but the roots run deep
Like new they'll begin again
New, they'll begin again

Oh, where do we go from here?
The throne room is empty
The petals have been plucked I'm left with
Nowhere to run, nothing to give and no one who cares enough
To lift the stems that gave them so much shade
Where do we go from here?
The throne room is empty
The petals have been plucked I'm left with
Nowhere to run, nothing to give and no one who cares enough
To lift the stems that gave them so much shade

There's nothing left to say, and little left to do
Heavy's the head that wears the crown
But time moves on, so we will too
Like new we begin again
New, we begin again
