Inside A Flower - Elisa

Hold back the time… just let it hang…

stop the seconds, minutes, and hours

and if I give you love…

will you let me keep myself?

I’m sitting out here on the very edge of earth

looking through a book from long before the world began

the man who gave it to me didn’t have a name

so overhead the sun is running down the day.

The books begins it’s story,

it tells of war and hate and tells of power,

the promises of freedom,

and of all religions love and

ways of life and how to…

Close your time inside a flower

stop the seconds, minutes, hours,

close your time inside a flower

live your life forget the power.

The people passing by and they stop to look at me they all think I’m crazy 'cause I’m laughing in the wind

but I’m free to be whatever I may choose

to win this freedom I know that somebody had to lose.

I’ve learned of those who buy love

read about those willing to sell it when we’re born it’s for love

some of us would die

just to get it what you gotta do is…

Close your time inside a flower

stop the seconds, minutes, hours,

close your time inside a flower

live your life forget the power.

We can give our love away and never lose ourselves

but no one can be something that you own

and if you think you’ve got the

right to tell me what I am

I got no trouble leaving you alone.

Close your time inside a flower

stop the seconds, minutes, hours,

close your time inside a flower

live your life forget the power
