DAISY

Daisy give yourself away
Look up at the rain, the beautiful display of power and surrender
Giving us today when she gives herself away
Rain, another rainy day
Comes up from the ocean, to give herself away
She comes down easy on rich and debt the same when
she gives herself away
Let it go, daisy let it go
Open up your fist...this fallen world
Doesn't hold your interest, it doesn't hold your soul
Daisy let it go
Pain, give yourself a name, call yourself contrition, avarice or shame
Giving isn't easy, neither is the rain and she gives herself away
Daisy why another day, why another sunrise, who will take the blame
For all redemptive motion and every rainy day

He gives himself away

Let it go, daisy let it go
Let it go...
