BLACK IRIS

Words and Music by Curtiss Johnson, Rick Brown and Robert Halpin (2/8/05)

Let me tell bout a girl I know
Her dad drives a Beemer just for show
And she prays for the day
When she can get away
Get away from everything she hates
And she prayed for the day

It didn't matter if her dad was cool
Mom was relieved to send her to school
And she dreams of the day
When she plants black iris on a hill
To escape from the way she feels
And she waits for the day

Why wait (Why wait?) for your dreams to be fulfilled?
Today plant iris on the hill

So I told her these very words
The meaning of i'm sure she heard
You should see her today
Planting black iris on the hill
Behind her house, she plants there still
Never let her dream get away

Why wait (Why wait?) for your dreams to be fulfilled?
Today plant iris on the hill
(Why wait?)
(Why wait?)
(Why wait?)
