Title:
“Unfolding Petals”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] We were paper flowers, [C] painted with dreams,
[Am] Caught in the jigsaw of [D] life’s grand scheme.
[G] You were a color, [C] vibrant and free,
[Am] Dancing through shadows, [D] a sight to see.

(Chorus)
(Em) Unfolding petals, (C) in the morning light,
(G) We’re coming alive, (D) holding onto the flight.
(Em) Unfolding petals, (C) breaking through the night,
(G) We rise with the sun, (D) ready to ignite.

(Verse 2)
[G] You whispered dreams into [C] empty spaces,
[Am] We bloomed in shadows, untying [D] laces.
[G] Life’s a canvas, [C] you said with a smile,
[Am] The paint is love, it’s [D] always worthwhile.

(Chorus)
(Em) Unfolding petals, (C) in the morning dew,
(G) We’re blossoming, (D) something brand new.
(Em) Unfolding petals, (C) under clear skies of blue,
(G) Together we stand, (D) our hope renewed.
