Sun Flower

Sun Flower
© Steffi Gandalia 2009

Tonight I sit alone in my room
Looking at the plastic sun flower under the moon
Sometimes I wish I could just be that
As it looks great all the time

Hey but it’s unreal to realize
There’re no such words as living, breathing, blooming, and growing
Coz this phony sun flower isn’t alive,
They just pretend to be strong but they don’t have life

I’m a living man
With a heart and feelings
With a soul to see what’s unseen
With a mind to dream and imagine

I just want to be real
I need a ground for me to stand
I need water to feed my thirst
And Yes, I need the sun to shine on me

Somehow I’m trying to lie to myself
That I’m strong enough to do everything
But in the end I find I mess everything when I depend on my own
And I find that I only shine when He shines on me

So often I am trying to run and do it all alone
Till I get tired to wear a mask and have no confidence to show
And You made me realize
I can’t be a beauty living sun flower when I don’t have You, My sun shine

I’m a living man
With a heart and feelings
With a soul to see what’s unseen
With a mind to dream and imagine

I just want to be real
I need a ground for me to stand
I need water to feed my thirst
And Yes, I need the sun to shine on me

I want to be a sunflower
With my sun shining on me
I want to color this beautiful world
With Him being my role

Coz You’re the only source of my beautiful life
No.. I can’t shine without you
When You’re not by my side
And I can’t live without you
