New Flowers - Catie Curtis

My backyard is filling up with new flowers

From a garden I had years ago

Look how long it took to grow

My old friends had kids right out of high school

While I watched for the signs on the road

Look how long it takes to grow

I guess I’ve been a lot of places

Trying to get all of my prizes

Now they don’t mean so much anymore

What does my sun shine for

I got two reasons more

As a young girl I had just the one dream

And I followed it straight through the dark

Long how strong it makes your heart

Now my back yard is filling up with new flowers

I can’t seem to get anything done

Hanging out all day with the littlest one

I guess I’ve been a lot of places

Trying to get all of my prizes

Now they don’t mean so much anymore

What does my sun shine for

I got two reasons more

Everybody used to tell us

Children change everything

But that’s not exactly what is happening

It’s not a curse or a cure

Gonna make a better world for

My two reasons more

Two kids I adore
