I've been livin in a room without windows. Away from the sun no oxygen. I couldn't tell if it was day or night. Away from the sun growing nowhere fast. Rushing along on the pavement. Don't even look at the people's faces going places. When an old man said stop. You nearly stepped on a flower. Growing through the cracks. And you didn't even notice. Wake up smell the roses. Life is happening and you don't know it. Wake up take a moment. Grab it in your hands... and own it. I realise our love is like that flower. Been neglecting the thing most precious to me. You've been talking but I haven't been listening. The static in the noise been drowning you out. I so wanna be in the future. That I keep tripping. Over my own shoe laces. In these human races. And i'm brought back to now. And the volume goes down. There's peace in his words as loud as a shout sayin'. Wake up smell the roses. Life is happening and you don't know it. Wake up take a moment. Grab it in your hands... and own it. He says. Wake up smell the roses. Life is happening and you don't know it. Wake up take a moment. Grab it in your hands... and own it. Like your birthday I forgot. I was with you. But I was not... really there. Snap your fingers that's your life. Not gonna let it pass my by no. When an old man said stop. You nearly stepped on a flower. Growing. Through the cracks. And you didn't even notice. Wake up smell the roses. Life is happening and you don't know it. Wake up take a moment. Grab it in your hands... and own it
