Original lyrics:

Ohh, my precious TRY HARD
I see UR at it AGAIN
SPY U there across the yard
Never know where you've been

But they beLIEve your words
'cause a SMILE hangs from them
and smiles are contagious
unless YOU KNOW the stem

IS NOT THE WHOLE FLOWER--->

And ohh, hey, my my, well,
Where there's a mess, there's fLIES
U can call me FLOWER -
she'll say, batting her eyes

I've been around ENOUGH
to just step the fuck BACK
Snap the BIGGER PICTURE-
Always get back on track

'Cause I KNOW the stem, babe
is NOT the whole damn flower
Wonder what's bloomin' there
while you SING in the shower...

Folk, acoustic guitar, flute, gentle percussion. 

The story illustrates the nature of human understanding:
Truth is vast and multi-dimensional, but individual perspectives are limited.
Dialogue and humility are essential to understanding the bigger picture.
Rumi links this to spirituality, suggesting that divine truth cannot be grasped fully by any single person or perspective.
He writes:
"The eye of perception is like the palm of a hand: the palm cannot cover the whole of the elephant."
