Red Bromeliad
lyrics by Karen Willey

Tendrils spiraling, tracing toward light, turning green in the city, oh, our city.
Red bromeliad, like a stop sign, paying heed to the city, oh, the city.

And you grow what you can where you can,
Tie a knot around your heart and the garden sees to tearing it apart.

Roots split the one-way street through the graveyard where we learned to drive in our city, oh our city.
She waters late at night when the mountain's shadow inks half the city, oh.

And you grow what you can where you can,
Turn the dirt to stones and sand and the garden keeps on growing anyway.

Stop at a breakfast spot, pick magnolias before it gets too hot or it rains.
When the wind comes let it in, I'm a hopeful, cast a seed let it go, oh let it go.

And we grow what we can where we can,
Slowly start to cultivate an open gate and shine light everywhere, shine light everywhere.

And you grow what you can where you can,
Tie a knot around you heart, the garden sees to tearing it apart, growing anywhere. 

K. Willey
