Death and destruction

Death and destruction everywhere.

Broken hearts,

Not a care.

Where are you walking?

Where will you go?

Hide your head

So no one will know.

Darkness, sadness, all around.

Triumph, laughter,

Where can they be found?

Today we think

What might have been

If all around us

Nothing was seen

Crash, bang.

We live in fear.

Hope and glory

All disappear.

I am the sunflower.

A small plant, I begin;

Green, small leaves and so thin.

I will grow so tall soon.

I am the sunflower.

I rise up every day.

Best to plant me in May.

See my big leaves just grow.

I am the sunflower.

Watch leaves suddenly appear,

Higher, Higher, I sear.

Sunshine makes me happy.

I am the sunflower.

Yellow, is my round face

Standing high, full of grace.

Petals round, one big smile.

I am the sunflower.

In fields I stand with friends,

With our joy, happiness we spread.

Tell the sunshine to ne'er stop.

I am the sunflower.

Sudd'nly, my leaves turn black.

Dry weather, no water, soil cracked.

Stopping head down in shame.

I am the sunflower.

One big chop, goodbye stem.

My summer is over once again.

Fear not friend, I shall return, for

I am the sunflower.
