Dandelion - Ian Moore

Wind, pick up this dandelion flower

Blow it far away from here, where the world has never seen

The beauty that it knows, it lies softly where it goes

A meadow on the breeze

Sun, turn this grass from green to brown

The August sun, so cruel sets fire to the rules

And not falling, what you waiting for?

It’s time for you to rise

Close my eyes and keep me safe from all I know

Till the life is dried and gone and the ghosts have all moved on

Brother, brother, keep me safe from all I know

Where the dandelion goes, the dandelion goes

Throw your wishes for the one thing I can give

The sacrifice you live, the blood, the blood that must be spilled

Illuminate me and show me what’s inside

The places that you fight, the secrets that you hide

Brother, fly, let it die for what it knows

The ruthless truth it’s shown, the blood, the blood that it unfolds

Brother, brother keep me safe from all I know

Where the dandelion goes, the dandelion goes
